New setup tell me what you think :D

well goodluck on your next grow!!!!!!! i just prepared some soil in a 2 gallon bucket for tplanting again soon... im thinking of sending her into flower in 3 or 4 weeks.. but im thinking of lst not really sure what to do i might just let her grow out natural!
 
dude... you dont need them close... anywhere from 4 inches to 12 inches is fine... i had mine about a 2 feet away... and they still worked... but its how ever you want to do... my only concern would be to much heat on the plants... but what do i know... its my first time too!!! lol... i vegged for 2 weeks... i am on day 53 from day 1 of veg... and here are my results with 3 cfls... 100 watts each... 6400 for veg... 2700 for flowering... i ran 24/0 on veg... and 12/12 on flowering... it is skinny... i am guessing its because i only veg for 2 weeks... i also have mine in a inclosed card board box with 2 computer fans shooting air in... i have a hole at the top to help push the hot air out...

2' away ?
FFS, you can lick a cfl & not feel any measurable heat & as all experienced growers know:
Less light = Less bud.
I don't make the rules.
 
i must got some other type of shits then... i am telling you i had to grab them shits with a tell... lol... yall got me wanting to go touch them again... yall got me thinking i am tripping!!! lol...
 
i dont know... yall are right... i just touched my flowering bulbs were cool... they werent hot... its must be my closet that is hot... fuck!!! lol... but i did get burnt by one of the swirl bulbs... the other day!!! it was a 6400... i must of been high and tripping... lol... my bad!!!
 
The farther away the more stretchy she is. Mine is nice and short and bushy... tight internodes to... thats hiw i want her. I dont want her tall and lanky. In other words i dont want an anorexic
plant.
Other than that i hope everyone is doing good!!! And feel free to share pictures of your ladies to everybody!!! I do have a question though.... when can i take clones.???

Anytime you have lower shoots that are long enough.

You can really take clones whenever. Most take right before flowering or during their stretch period. You just want to time it out so you can put the clones in soil after they start rooting after 7-14 days. They can last a little while in clone if in a dome and under decent light, but if not you want them clones under your veg lights asap.

when will i see my girl stretch?? she is staying nice and short right now..... and also i do have some cloning powder!! :D :D but no dome i will use soil in solo cups and use ziplock bags for my dome(as i used this method for popping my seeds through soil after germming them)

I like to cut them around 6-8" long, trim off lower leaves & scrape off the "bark" exposing the cambium layer on the stem for the first 1 1/2" or so - dip them in rooting powder & I just put them in a rubbermaid tote (in red solo cups) with a piece of plexiglass over the top. Two CFL worklights shining down through the plexi & I'm done other than misting every day or so.
Oh, and I like to give the soil a good drench when I put them in the dirt & last thing, seedling mat. It keeps everything nice & warm - makes them happy.

Normally they stretch the first 2-3 weeks of flowering, but some strains stretch more then others. I would suggest just taking clones from low branches that aren't going to get a lot of light or bud of them, and use those. Typically the lower branches clone better as well.

The solo cup and bag method will work just fine.

How long are your lowest branches ?

Many of the newer heating pads have an auto-shutoff.
Usually about a 2 hour max on time.
