Grow Setup Questions DWC with CFL's

So I have done a ton of research and this is what i came up with..

I have currently built this http://420tribune.com/2010/03/diy-stealth-grow-box/ but what im going to do is a DWC for it growing 2 plants..My question is in this setup the have the lights at the very top of the box, from the pictures at the end it shows a good harvest.. Now Im useing 6 100w 6500k bulbs for the veg state. Can i leave these lights at the top or should I rig up something to lower the lights closer to the plants and move the lights up as the plants grow? or just leave it at the very top? any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
the cfls your going to have to keep close to the tops like an inch or less just keep in mind the lights do get warm and will toast your tops, im a cfl grower and still learning i have my lights at the top of my cab but i raise the plants to keep them closer to the lights and if they get to close i lower them, but thats just me, maybe a pro might step in and help you more.
 
Thanks for the reply.. If you look at the picture of this guys stealth box he has the light totally secured at the very top of the bin with no way to lower them. It also does not seem that he is riseing the plants up to the lights like you are doing.... I know CFL's will get hot i lined the rubber made with foil tape all around to help with the rubber made from melting and also reflective =). I have done allot of research so far and it seems that every1 has there CFLS a couple of inches from there plants. BUT there only 1 cfl per plant..Dont know what kind of CFL they are since it is just pictures...But where im confused is if I have 6 100w 6500k CFL at the very top of the rubber made container will that be enough to not have to lower them to be right over the plants. or if that is too much if I have to lower the lights over the plants.. I have also read that you cant have to many CFL bulbs.
 
Also I was planning on adding the flowering bulbs (2500k) when i planned to flower but I have seen some post where people use both bulbs for the veg and the flowering.They just change the light cycle. What do you think is better using both bulbs or change the 6500k Bulbs to the 2500k bulbs for flowering? Thanks =)
