i have mine at 2" and its a single 26 watt bright white bulb, i think thats about as close i would wanna go. its 1 bulb for each plant right now.
How many are you going to flower with? I ask because I think I may have a bulb problem in that I can't stop adding more. When is enough enough?

well, ive been flowering with 8 bulbs, thats 7 23 watt 2700k and 1 26 watt 6500k, but when the new girls go in there i'll add a couple more Y;s and go to 10 bulbs, that 8 and 2 for a good mix. then i might still add the t5 side lights, 4 -3 footers, one in each corner, 2 for sure though soon. this all be great for 2 nice plants, you can never have enough with cfl's, well, you know, LoL. not sure where i got the last pic, but theres no shortage of cfl power there, LoL.

how close are your bulbs? I am trying to find the closest range that doesn't burn and I am at 3"
Yeah man. I get those F***ers close. like 1 inch in spots.... But I think the droopiness might be because three feedings ago I nuted them as well as 2 feedings ago the last feeding was just water.. but it might have been to much big bud? I dunoo

I can fit 10 if I plant every couple of weeks. You know so that they don't all turn into little shrubs at the same time

actually for using cfl's in this type of application, with no reflector, the vertical placement offers the best light. information gathered from Jorge Cervantes' Medical Grower's Bible page 203. and from personal experience this has been the best way to use these bulbs. thanks for the advice.

really? everything i have read says the cfls should be on their side to provide the most light.
Hmm anyone have a light meter?

I gave my oldest girl the chop yesterday. It was a little early but the seeds were ripe and I needed the canopy space for my sensimelia girls. Some of it has gotten the fast dry and man it is nice. Smoked myself half retarded and tried to take my buddy with me. It was good enough that he asked If was willing to sell him some seeds. He took some home free.
