To restrict or not to [very close to light source, bad?]

[minttu]

Hi all

I have this dilemma with my beautiful girl.

She looks very promising, but I was wondering if my current "method" of growing is the best. I think it could be, as we all like the light to be as close as possible, don't we?

But on the other hand, the growth seems to begin to block the light from "downstairs"

250 Watt HPS, enclosured with glass and the tops are growing couple of inches away from the light. They won't burn seemingly neither from light intensity, nor from heath (as I keep 'em cool with a fan). God forbid that fan fails..

I could raise the light but should I? Basically I guess it's a sort of scrog now.

Ps. she's been flowering pobably for three weeks and only so much "profitable" growth; first grow for over two years; was it always this slow? i am feeding 4ml biobizz bloom + 3ml biobizz topmax every other day. no signs of nitrogen def.

Your right if that fan fails you plants are going to be toast. Even if that fan doesn't fail you could still be damaging the plants at the top where the best buds will be. That will ruin the taste and smell of the plants. Best to move the light up some and trim off the lower suckers at the bottom of the plants. The top buds will be bigger and less risk of destroying all your hard work.
