I have 4 azuras at 2 weeks and I just moved them from a cardboard box with 2 54 watt t5s to 1.7 sq ft by 3 ft high closet entertainment sytem space with 4 40 watt soft white cfls. They are all in one 7 gallon bucket. Shortly after I moved them in there the leaves stood up making the plants look like a (Y). And on one of them the leaves are curling slightly on the edges. Is this bad? I'm thinking its because the lights are a different spectrum and they arent used to it or maybe theyre to close (about 1 inch). I know i should use 2700k bulbs for flowering but I'm still waiting for my 85 watt 5500k cfls to arrive so i will use the soft whites for the time being. Does anyone know if they make a 4 way socket adapter so I dont need to use 3 2 way ones? Happy growing.:bigjoint:

Yeah, if the leaves are starting to curl up slightly at the edge it means they're getting too hot, try moving the lights a bit farther away and they should be fine.
