yes i do! and this is my third post on your thread.Anybody out there have plants in peril, or just need some knowledge, bring it.
OK I have one good idea as too what your probs might me. first lemme say that most your plants don't look unhealthy, just a little spotty, and maybe slighty stretched depending on the genetics. Now in latest pics you posted the last pic of the single plant def has mist on it. and yellow spotting can easily be a direct result of misting plants under a HPS light. I don't even bother to mist my plants,but if you must do it when the lights are off and will be for at least an hour. If water droplets sit on leaves in a HPS room, the light magnafies through the droplet and burns spots in the leaves. I also noticed dry water spots on your mylar,so something def gets sprayed in there.yes i do! and this is my third post on your thread.

First of all blacklight=poison, def dont use them for growing. Second it all depends on the strain, what size you want to let them get and how much space you have. There are hundreds of factors to think about. You could get a nice small indica structured plant that produces good yield and a nice body high, or a sativa that gets huge and gives an amazing head high. There are tons of senarios to do, ya just have to plan according to what ya want and your limits.
First of all if you are a member of grasscity.com, check out my thread there, I have tons of amazing info regarding my LED grows and all the specs on the diff lighting in comparison and used in conjuction as a supplement. In case you cant though (Ill put the link at the end) ill explain what ya should do for your setup. I have had great success using CFL's and LED's,just so ya know I have the 90 watt UFO. I am not tryuing to stick up for LED's but there were many things wrong with the HPS VS LED UFO video you have seen and I go into why in the thread I am going to post. Basically you are going to want to keep the LED panel as you said righ over the plant(s) as close as can be. I dont know about your panel, but my light spreads over the whole area it is supposed to with only being about 2 inch over the center plant. Take the CFL's you have and position them so they light up the sides of the plants and some of the lower branches. If you find temps are great and can add more CFL's you can never have to many(as long as its stays cool enough). How many planst are you doing in what size space??
They look like amazingly cool grow systems, seen them, but haven't done alot of research or ever used one, so can't tell ya alot. What are your main concerns though cause it doesnt look to difficult to run. You can go to the website and check the fact and tips for using the systems they provide, this is it http://www.omegagarden.com/.
To be honest yes, def get the tempered glass, as it helps contain the heat, and if you plan to set up any kind of exhaust start with the air cooled fitting and a couple in line duct fans which are like 20 bucks a piece and easily added anytime, it brings the heat down quite considerably.Especially if you are going to use both lights simutaneously.
Is a blacklight good for my light?????
ok theres a bunch of different ways o do this. I personally like to use either jiffy peat pots or a similar medium that is easy for the seed to break through. I dont like using the paper towel method cause I tend to not keep in moistc enough, or too moist.Some like it though. Just get a plate and a few sheets of paper towel. Make towels damp put seeds on top of damp towels then put another layer of damp towels on top. keep moist, dome if ya want to and watch daily for tap root. when seed crack and shows tap root plant in rockwool orwhatever meduim ya want,again peat pellets work well here too. Others get a glass of water and let the seeds sit in there untill they crack and show taproot then plant.As I said I personally like the natural in dirt or a plug method.
Blacklights are very very bad for plants.
