[josh's meds]

i have made a grow section and am growing in a part of my closet. in this section i have a box ive made with reflectors covering inside. i have 600w equiv. cfl lights, fan and if needed a heater. i have also made a (trial and error) clone tray. everything seems well.
i started with 1 afgan kush seed germinated and planted into soil, and then was gifted with a blueberry yum yum clone and a bluedream clone. temps stay between 70-75 ish.
any info, comments would be good anything i left out just ask. 1st seed sprot, 2nd arival of blueberry and bluedream, 3rd blueberry and bluedream new homes, 4th blueberry, 5th bluedream, 6th top view of garden (disregard the leafs in clone tray just testing hole size.)

hey man lookin good your gunna want to lower those cfls as close to the plants as u can with out burning them. about 3 inches should be good. im new to the forums also here check out my grow https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=231454

weednnoodles, i will def stop by your grow and drop a line or 2. i have my lights about 6" or less from plants, should this be ok? also why do we want them close, ive heard a few reasons such as: keeps the plant from streaching to tall?, makes plant grow thicker?
space is not much of an issue as i have about 8' cellings just curious on everyones take and opinions

the closer your cfls are the more light your plant will recieve because cfls dont have the light penetration of a MH or HPS and the shorter your plants are and the closer your budsites are to each other the more u should yield
