See that Fan in the top left corner....that takes care of air flow. And those bulbs don't produce radient heat so it doesn't heat up the surfaces it touches. Used that unit to veg seedlings, but you could grow a single plant, using LST and the Dutch grow method, and bud it out in there. Consumes about a penny in hydro every hour maybe less. Good those bulbs you used are CFL's, now that wattage are they....it will say on the base of the bulb......and it may or may not have a colour temp rating.....look for numbers like 2700, 3000, 4100, 5000, 6500K. Colour temp is important.....seeing as 4100K bulbs are virtually USLESS for growing plants.

umm they are 60 watt...as for the colour temp rating i do not know for sure...but over the past 24 hours it seems that theyve each successfully aken root in their pots and their stems are more firm from the wind. as for the first set of leaves that are shown in the pics that were wilting...they still look rather unchanged but the second set that is growing up out of them is really green and healthy looking :)
