thanx man and i had them abit closer and 4 inchs away but figured it would be too close so i brought it down to what you see there, what would u say is key distance would be away from the lights? they are only cfls, but im using nutes on it

move them back as close to the light as possible. as long as its not touching it shouldnt burn atleast mine done

looks nice .
2-3 inches away from the top of the plant should be fine .
the optimal ofcourse is like skervy said , as close as u can without burning the plants.

is there air blown on ur plants ?
the fan is pointed to cool the lights ? or is it just taken down for the pics ?

air blown on the plant simulates the wind , and makes ur plant stronger . that is important .

if you grow it to 20 inches in veg your gonna have like a 4 to 6ft plant when it finishes not good for cfls. you should top and or lst keep them short and bushy with a flat canopy to get the most out of your lights. and if you want fatter stems you need to put a fan on the plants like the other guy said. also you can switch the lights to 18/6 itll save some power and light life. for watering just water them till you get runoff and all the soil is wet

i would suggest topping when they get a couple more nodes then flower after the bottom shoots come up to make a canopy. and yes up to 6 ft they will double to triple the size they are when you start 12/12

hmm what do u mean topping it off?

topping is just cutting off the top of the plant. it will turn a few plants into this and in my opinion better for cfls unless you can put lights all around it

pretty basic you just cut off the top. how long you wait and how far you cut it depend how many tops you want. each node you let grow is gonna make a new top. i waited for a few nodes and my plants have 6-8 tops on each. i did do some training to keep them even though i dont know all the extra specifics of it
