So I'm going to be leaving my lady unattended for 4 days soon, which will be the longest period I've gone without checking on her. I've been keeping the lights very close, so I tend to raise them every day or two to prevent the leaves from coming in direct contact with the CFLs. My plan is to raise it about as much as I'd expect I'd need to while I'm gone, but I was wondering whether I should err on the side of too far or too close. I don't want to cause anymore stretching than I have to at this point, but obviously I don't want to burn the plant either. This is a picture I took a couple nights ago right after raising the light, just to give you an idea of my setup:
My instinct is to put it high enough that the plant almost certainly won't reach it, but I've also found that even my 42w bulbs don't cause too much damage when the plant grows into them (just a little browning, nothing horrid).
Thoughts?
EDIT: I thought I'd add that this is Dinafem's Super Silver, on Day 34 of 12/12, which means it's about 1/3 done flowering. Most of the super-stretching is done, but she's still putting on an inch a week or more.
