Not sure to be exact Shumway!!! I have a 12" x 12" LED lighting arriving anyday. I think that may help. Plus I didnt get the rez's height jacked up until today. Why or what would cause her to be a little small for her age?

Could be anything keeping them small like that
From that last pic it looks like your probably running 2 - 23w bulbs and a 13w which is way too little for your space.
Also with cfls you want to keep them as close as possible at all times as the lumens drop significantly the farther away they are

Whats the dimensions of the cab?
You want around 100 watts of cfl per plant if you can
With those bulbs your only pushing around 4100 lumens at max and with them that far your probably getting under half of that to the plant
And i wouldn't really get worried about heat signatures for the whirly bird to pick up on unless your using a 600w + hps in a conspicuous place like your attic
You have so much stuff in your house throwing off heat that it would be hard to tell whats what especially if using a smaller mh or hps

Bro good job raising the Rez they will definitely appreciate that. I would definitely get a tds meter, they are real cheap on eBay. As for your air pump the more air to the roots the better. You mentioned u went to Wally World they have that ecoplus aquarium two outlet air pump which works great in my seedling starter box I have two running for a 3gal tote to give you an idea. The more air the better. As for lighting DIY. You can get u 5-6 outlet power strip, go to Home Depot and get light socket that plug into the wall they're like $1.50 apiece and just screw the power strip to the side of your box for extra lighting
Shumway. The demensions are 42"H x 19"W x 26"D. I'll have to get some more cfl's. I have 2 more big cfl's for bloom the 2700 lumen bulbs. Would it hurt to put them in now with the ones going?
Smoke1tone. Thanks I figured it would be better. Cant wait to get my LED light. I already got a dual outlet pump in it. And the DIY lighting you mentioned is the way i got the cfl's now on the powerstrip. Would it hurt her if i put in my other 2 cfl bulbs for bloom the reds?

If you can throw those extra bulbs in there do it.
A 250w hps would be perfect for that box giving you around 72 watts per square foot but your going to have to contend with the heat big time and upgrade your exhaust way more than that little computer fan..lol
