Bagseed can be better than seeds bought from a seed bank

okay i am out of sandwich bags but i will use plastic wrap/// but what happens if the plants get big enough to touch the plastic? they aren't to far from the tops of the cups now.

By the time they're able to touch the plastic it is usually time to take the off anyway (second set of leaves).

And remember just keep the soil moist. Seedlings love high humidity.

Latest pics of what they are looking like... two of the plants are looking a bit yellow now on the tips of the leaves and they are both on the same side... so i think thise bulbs are getting a little to warm with how close they are... so I lowered them about 3/4 an inch. The little sprout in that looked dead in the other pics now looks 100% and has doubled in size already! oh and the little ice cube tray is just for moisture. Also tomorrow I am going to add 3 more lights.

I am also adding another 80mm pc case fan as we speak to blow through the lights and over the plants. I forgot to mention there is also 2 80mm pc fans as outtakes in the bottom corners to vent the hot air

to answer your earlier question black is horrible
That color absorbs more light than any other color
Paint the walls flat white or get those emergency blankets
Just make sure to make it as flat as possible

Leave the intake fan on the bottom, exhaust fan on top
Cool air stays low and warmer air rises
Also have your intake and exhaust fan on opposite sides so that the natural air flow will be over across and then outta the box

Hey man i just read the whole post like it nice. Yea the black is killing you man : ( the emergency blankets are a nice idea along with flat white walls. Also i had heard of the car windshield sun reflectors working good also. If you have a problem with heat go to walmart and buy a few 3 inch fans i got 2 for 3 bucks a piece. I have a grow going on in my closet in a box with 6 lights 2 circulation vans and 1 intake 1 exhaust fan check it out. Plants are looking good though i got some new one also right along with you. Good Luck let me know if i can help.

Earlier I made the mistake of putting a fan blowing on the lights in hopes to cool them off, but it blew the hot air on my plants for to long and now all but 1 is shrivled up and pretty yellow... i hope they make it!
