well i just took another peek at the closet to brain storm and came to the conclusion that penatration is not a problem at all. even at a distance of 2 feet the 400 watter keeps em nice and stocky. i get what all of u are saying, stop the bull shit and get a 1k hps so u can grow real buds but i have what i have.....FYI the plant i refered to as 30inches has growen an inch sence i last checked, maby that superthrive dose do somthing..lol watered some time last night. i like the idea of growing on a slope might just try that one out if it dosent retart normal root growth. plz dont mind the crude pics i just have so many ideas and 2 hours till lights off..
