My 1st Grow, with pics and a couple ?'s

DAY 8:

OK everyone, it's been 8 days since ground break. I added some ice packs to bring my temp down to around 80. I looked EVERYWHERE today for a small fan to put in my box with no success. Finding a fan this time of year is one challenging task! Anyway, the ice packs will work for now. I did find a little wind tower fan. I'll put a picture below...I wonder if this will work? I haven't really seen much growth progress with the plants in the last 3-4 days. Maybe they will take off in their new home. Here are some pictures:

Only fan I could find....does anyone have any ideas for/against? Its really short, only about 12" tall.

My plan tomorrow is to make a reflector for my power strip and possibly go pick up this fan. If I don't get this fan, I will find a regular oscillating fan on the internet. It is going to be a pain to have to rotate my ice packs all the time. Thanks for looking!

 
Oh yeah, forgot to add that I have been running my exhaust fan 24/7 and the plants are under lights 24/7. I am pretty sure I am supposed to be running the exhaust. Does anyone think the plants might do better on 18/6???

On a side note, if someone is reading this that can move this thread to the grow journal section that would be great! Thanks!
 
From my experience the plants grow more during lights off. Secondly, it's proven plants need a dark period for root development and to turn CO2 into blah blah..

... Put them on 18/6 is my point :)
 
Yeah I agree put your lights on 18/6 ASAP and keep the exhaust going 24/7.and as far as the fan I have one and it work quite well
