Brand new grower - general questions - pics

[aquashift]

I am using a 600w MH bulb with ballast in a corner of my room. Pictures below. I have two white widow plants, 2 weeks old, that I just moved from fluorescent to HID. My question is that I can't afford an expensive ventilation system, so I'm just using a regular fan. Is it ok to put allow the fan's air to hit the plants directly so that they shake, or how should I do this? I know it can get pretty hot with the HID bulb above (the 600 watt bulb is about 2 feet away from the seedlings). I live in a hot, dry climate (10% humidity, highs of 104 degrees right now). What is the best set up given my situation?
As a postscript, I realize my babies have some discoloration.. this is because of a minor pest problem that is resolved. Thank you for your time to help me =)

I know many growers that don't even use fluros.. just HID... so your comment is pointless. Anyone else with useful ideas about the ventilation?

I think you need to ask the question again, because I'm not sure I got it. Fans can blow directly at small plants, but they should not shake like crazy - just apply common sense.

Thank you. Sometimes common sense does not cut it with indoor growing. But I appreciate the input.

This is my girl at five days. You say you have two weeks. See the difference? I have a 125 watt dual spectrum CFL set one foot above her. The fan should move her just a little to strengthen her and help with temps and humidity. Your comment about common sense though brother. That goes a looooonnnngggg way in any situation. But that's just my humble opinion.

Beautiful girl. Would you be interested in comparing growth rates with our babies?

I have a carpeted grow closet too! It's wall to wall weed This is in a closet right? With the fan I would have it in a door way blowing in flesh air, blowing out the heat. Your seedlings shoud be under the flo's a little long not much.
