You're going to freak at how fast your plants will grow. It's like nothing you can imagine!Hey Stink - great thread by the way - very informative and useful. I bought the supplies and started to construct the system and when I was done I got to thinking....
I'm going to be using a 1000w HPS lamp but I built my top support at about 30 inches and my lower support at about 18 inches. I have a feeling that my lamp will be too far away when I first put my plants in the system. I was planning on putting them in at about 12 inches tall. Will I run into a problem with strecthing at all since the light is going to be about 20 - 24 inches away? I'm not worried about heat because I'll be using a lens with a squirrel cage fan to control heat.
Thanks -

In just a few weeks your buds will be right up to the lights.
My lights are adjusted for my large plants so my new plants are pretty far away from the light when they first go in to the flower room.
Every time I harvest I move the new (center) plants to the outside and put the new batch directly under the lights. That way they get the most amount of light and they are not shaded by the big plants.
I take my system out and clean it every harvest anyway. The whole system weighs like 4 lbs!
Good luck bro!
