@DavidLMO you got me thinking - I have a good grow light in there, but I am keeping it about 18 inches above the containers because it gets up to 96 degrees (which seems to me fries the seeds). I raised the containers about 6 inches, and aimed a fan right at the containers to keep it cooler. I think it probably actually needs to be raised more - which I will do. I also covered some cardboard with those foil mylar blankets -- and made some "reflectors" to put around the plants that are getting CFL light, and moved the CFLs closer to the plants. I probably need more focus on the lighting. Thanks for getting me thinking.
