the last one looks small but he really isnt.....he's just in a little bit bigger pot

here is the grow room....yea i know its a little messy and it look stuffed...but its really tall actually and really well vented and so far is working great.....the light it a ott-lite grow light.....im not sure what wavelength it is but i've touched it after its been on for a couple of hours and its cool to the touch still so i think its probably a lot of blue.....well just let me know what you think and give me any pointers thanks

They're looking good. Did you dig that soil up in your back yard? Regardless they seem happy. Good luck.

the reflective surface is aluminum foil....so all the excess light is reflexed back to the plant....this also helps the lower branches get more light...cuz in the future when these little ones get bigger the top of the plant with receive the majority of the light....

and as for wattage i have no idea truthfully, nor can i find it anywhere on the box or on the tube.....but its an Otti-light for plants....directly from home depot

from what i've heard aluminum foil isnt the best refelctive type.
Consider buying some mylar or astro foil

My friend USED White print paper, 2pieces each around a box. WORKED out well.

I would double check and make sure that potting soil mix you are using doesnt have any "slow rtelease ferts or added nutrients" you could burn them early.

I hope you sterilized it.

They are looking great so far. Just a few suggestions:
1. Get rid of the foil. Its not good for them.
2. That better be a real grow room/chamber
3. Your gonna need more lights.

The brown stem is normal, dont sweat it man.
