Got a link to that thread? I'd like to check it out.

OP -- as close to those plants as you can get them, and supplement them with CFLs, or FIM and LST it, so that you're growing horizontal, for maximum light exposure to each node.

You will need a way to raise and lower the lights (or the plants I suppose) as she grows taller. You wants to keep the lights as close the plants as possible. I use spiral cfls are keep them 1-2" from the plants. Sometimes I raise them more than once a day.

Really depends on your grow space and if you can raise and lower the lights efficiently.
