NOOB Blackjack grow journal HELP APPRECIATED!!

Ok i've finaly decided to start this and keep it going instead of posting random updates of my grow everywhere. My space includes a closet (4x2.5x8ft) and a smaller grow box i made out of an old projection television. (4x2.4x4ft) For lighting in my closet i have a 400watt hps/metalide light and in the box i have a 250watt hps. For ventilation i have a 4 inch hole cut into the top of the closet, as well as the bottom. Both holes have a computer fan in them. As well as a two other larger fans inside the closet to move air. In the box i have a 4inch hole cut right behind the light and i have mounted a fan i got out of an oven hood to the back of the box. i then cut about 5 inches off the bottom of a pvc bucket and secured it around the fan and calked to make airtight. The cut a hole in it to attach the duct. Closet is painted all white and the box is covered with mylar coated insulation board. (when i put my snake tank on top the tv it hides the balast..super stealth and keeps my python warm)

I ordered 5 Femenized Black Jack seeds and recieved them with in a week along with 10 free mystery seeds. I sold 5 of the 10 mysteries and germinated the rest. 24 hours laters all but one of the black jacks had germinated. I planted all 10 seeds anyway.

Two days after planting all the 9 that had germinated sprouted. One of the black jack seeds were a dud

the plants are now 10 days from the day they sprouted. Looking FAIRLY healthy. My closet has been getting very hot 90 and sometimes more. I think more fans may be in order. I've noticed some yellowing on lower leafs. And twisting on other lower Leafs. I was givin some advice on fixing this problem. Hopefully the next updates will show some greener looking ladies.

anyone think these ladies are stretching?

No, they look fine stretch wise

Get your garden dialed in and they will be great plants!

Been a minute since i posted. Still had alot to do to get my system temps and humidity on point. Found out i had to move up to a six inch duct fan or a more expensive 80 dollar fan. i went with the six inch. Also added a humidifier to the room. Plants are looking very healthy. But going slow (to me). Maybe from the high temps or maybe im just being impatient. Also got a new camera and will have pics posted soon.

Are your plants still in dixie cups? How tall are they? Sometimes mine get rootbound at 6 inches tall even. Try transplant them into 1 gallon and you probably will get some growth right away

Dude so bad. This morning i woke up to my tallest plant with droopy leaves @5am. Didnt think it was that serious..temps were a lil high so i brought some cool are in and brought it back down and went to bed. then when i woke back up around 330pm temp was 75 degrees and the plant was drooping WAY more. Not only that other plants are now drooping. NOW ONLY THAT other plants have the large lower leaves yellowing. They were green yesterday and almost completely yellow today . Anyways i appologize for not updating this more again...i have a ton of pics to upload and have been keeping an offline journal. Tonight or tomorow i will do a full update of this.
