yes if it will be uncomfortably hot on your hand then it is bad for your leaves as well. I keep mine no closer then 2 inches with direct airflow otherwise 4-6inches or so IMO

just looked at the pic so just make sure and get some kind of air flow at the bottom of the cfl and top of your canopy which should be the same area.

even if you do not fill it (think you will) you will still benefit from an even canopy especially with cflmay even want to add a couple underneath for supplemental..IMo that is the best thing about cfl is that you can get pretty close and supplement for poor penetration.

If you do go hps I wouldn't worry about lighting underneath the canopy just figure if you go cfl the whole way any extra lighting will help.

I've noticed some thing quite strange and am unsure exactly as to why. When my plants are under the 6500K fluorescent light the leaves bend right open and downwards (Photo 1 & 2) but when placed on the window sill during the day the points of the leaves straighten out and even point directly up towards the sun (Photo 3). Is either of these right or wrong, or should I just decide between CFL and sunlight and stick to it? The larger of the 2 popped from the soil 10 days ago, the smaller 5. Thank you :)

idk what to tell you about that besides moving them back and forth can stress the plant. your medium doesnt look great for weed imo. should at least have some perlite mixed in 5/1 or 4/1 soil/perlite ratio

Did I miss the question about "flushing to finish"? How soon before chopping? Also, plants going in the dark for 48-60 hours before chopping? Here's mine at 38 days flowering, Royal Flush.

I have a 55 x 55 x 79 tent with a 1000 watt I would like to get the most yield I can out of the space so what is the recommended number of plants for this area or should I just grow one big plant?

Hello everyone....I have a question I hope has a simple answer...my plants have been in the flower room for about five weeks and are just now barley showing bud hairs. I normally see this happening at two weeks...no light is getting in the room from outside so I am at a loss. thanks for any answers I get.
