Wondering About My Setup (Pics Included)

  1. Hello there! I was growing outdoors for quite a while and decided to move indoors cuz of the colder weather. It's sort of my first grow, the other plant turned out to be a male so I decided to separate the female and move her indoors. 

    I bought 4x CFLs for my setup (it's only 1 plant, I don't smoke much, 1 gram per week or something along those lines)
    CFL bulbs : 
    3 Osrams and 1 Vagner (pics on the boxes and their details below)

    I took a cardboard box, cut off the top (I don't care about stealth) covered the inside with tin foil, and set it up, pics on how it looks below

    My questions are, is there something I can add? What should be the distance between the plant and the bulbs? Currently it's around 3-4 inches
    Also, the things that you screw the bulb in are getting quite hot to the touch.. I can barely hold it for 5 secs. Is it normal? Should I be concerned about safety? I'm not always at home, so I might not be able to watch over it the whole 12 hours 
     
  2. I used a small bathroom exhaust fan to cool my CFL tent. Just mount it somewhere above the light and maybe a PC fan beneath to draw in cool air.
     
  3. Well, I'm gonna get a fan in a few days; how is the plant lookin? It's a lowryder#2, are the lights ok?
     
  4. Tin foil isn't the best. You'd be better of just painting the inside of the box white.
     
  5. Okay, i guess i could just cover it in white a4 papers instead, why is the foil a bad idea tho?
     
  6. I reorganized everything a bit, changed the tin foil to white papers, and changed lamp positions
