Hi this is my first grow cabinet. 4 cfls, 2 passive intakes and 2 exhaust fans, one oscillating fan Temp goes between 72f and 85F! 17/7 light schedule

I had some initial trouble with lack of Nitrogen which seems over now that I added blood meal.

I am looking for some general feedback on how the plants look and what i might do to improve them.

Any opinions? Be Brutal

im watering every 3-5 days

for lights i have two cool white 17W, 7800k 24" cfls and two compact 26 w cfls( previously 4 of these) Unfortunately the heat was pushing above 85F in the day time so i cut back to only two of these....

I've been sincerely considering taking these plants outdoors. But would love to see them grow a lil further inside first. Any ideas how i can give them more light without increasing the heat?

For an exaust fan u can use 2-3 computer fans and get some wire connectors or electrical tape and splice a phone charger or somthing of that sort and hardwire the fans. They are quit and effective
