Heya yeat,, cheers my friend,, Enjoyed reading some of yer journal,,
Mind if I chime in with a word or two,,?? Just about the white paint on the walls,, probably the best solution,, reflective materials can cause hotspots, and in an enclosed space like yours, even worse, so, good choice
Cant help with the fan, sry,,
The cfls, how close can they be,,? Great question indeed,, my motto with cfls, which I use a lot,, my motto,
if the cfl is two inches away, it's too far,,
Even younguns,, soon as they show themselves nearly,, get em close,, they love it,, the glass part has next to zero heat,, just the ballast part, the screw end, has heat,, keep the ballast away from the plants
I have, at this very moment, two babies like yours, and the light is about an inch away max, maybe inch and a half, not a stitch more,, just me tho,, and i kookoo,, cheers yeat
