Switched to 20/4 today. Got to get a fan in there today. Both plants turning towards closest bulb.

Setting up dual exhaust fans for the box and a small one for the seedlings. Striped from old PCs, using a PC power supply. Required a couple hours googling to get the wiring right. I have a fan in the box now, but it's too big to aim directly at the seedlings. I figured I could pick up a small oscillating fan at Wally-Mart, but no luck.

Exhaust fans are fitted at top of box. I'll think about sticking a filter in front of them if the smell gets too bad.

Day 5 from germ, still haven't watered. With 4 gallon pots I sense I'm at least 5 or 6 days away from water and at that point will probably be ready for nutes as it'll be close to 2 weeks growing. Continuing at 20/4 light schedule.

Okay, first feeding time at the zoo!
Using PBP Grow, Liquid Karma and CalMag at 1/3 strength. I went with more than 1/4 strength because with 4 gallon pots it looks like watering will be only once a week and I'm over a week growing already.
A 4 gallon fabric pot using Pro-BX soilless mix took only 1 and a half gallon to create run off. That surprised me, I was expecting to use twice that.
