I can not emphasize enough the importance for LIGHT proximity to the PLANT.

IF You want a big harvest using CFLS.. there should be a CFL within 1 inch of EVERY piece of exterior foliage of the plant!!

do you understand!!!!

CANNABIS grows FAST.... you will need to adjust the lights or adjust the plant daily.

Are you planning on adding more light after flip? You should probably switch if you're not. It also depends on how much space you have
Nice gheto reflector would go well with the setup too

Finally found help with cfl. So ppl have told me i have them to close that why the nodes are so close. Then i read thats what u want. So if someone has alot of experience in cfl should i move the light a few more inches. 125watt cfl total. 3 23w 6500 and 2 23 watt 2700

CFLs have a short light range 8-12in max. I usually have my CFLS 4-6in away from my plant in my space bucket grow. CFLS 2inches to the plant or closer starts to burn the plant, makes leaves closes to the bulbs dry, and makes leaves curl up from heat stress in my experience. Good luck with your grow
