intake
exhaust
I am a first time grower and need help because I am still in veg. stage and my plants are barely growing!*
The plants are under 2 20watt tube flourescents that are 4500k and 850 lumens per bulb. I also have 4 hanging cfls that are 100watt equivalents and are 1,600 lumens each and are 5000k.*
The box is apprx. 2ftx1ft so 2 square feet. I have 2 intake holes coming from the bottom of the house. One has a fan blowing air in and the other is passive intake. I also have 2 computer fans for exhaust. The Temp stays right around 80 and since I got rid of the humidifier the humidity stays around 30..*
I planted 5 seedlings in 1 quart black plastic pots in 75% hyponex potting soil and 25% perilite on 1/8/12.*
Plant #1 broke ground (sprouted) on 1/10/12 and the seed shell fell off.*
Plant #2 & 3 broke ground on 1/14/12
Plant 4 broke ground on 1/16/12
Plant 5 broke ground on 1/17/12
I watered them when they were dry but did not over water them (just water no nutes till week 3) i also had a humidifier in there to help keep humidity up. The temp and humidity stayed at around 80 degrees and 50% humidity for 2-3 weeks.*The humidity is now around 30 and temp 80.
On 1/26/12 I measured the plants because I wanted to keep track of growth since they seemed to be growing slow.*
Plant 1: 2in
Plant 2: 2 & 1/8 inches
Plant 3: 1.75 inches
Plant 4: 2.75 inches
Plant 5: 2 inches
On 2/1/12 I measured them again and also watered with Whitney Farms Natural All Purpose Plant Food Concentrate and molasses. The plant food contains 8% nitrogen.*

My leaves are mostly pointing down and some are burnt or dying on the ends. I planted by seedlings 6 weeks ago and they are averaging 6 inches.. what am I doing wrong?! I am so puzzled. As I said I am a newbie so please don't be too harsh on me. I am just looking for some advice. Thank you. Also, I am unsure of strain..
