A couple of theing to keep in mind:
...the effective light from the 600 will only extend down a few (3 or 4) feet from the source. Undergrowth will die-off a bit.
...sativa dominant strains generally stretch more than indica doms.

When trying to determine how tall you ultimately want your ladies, don't forget to add the size (height) of your growlight, (a foot or so) the 'buffer zone' between lights and canopy top, (another foot or two) and a foot or so for the pot.

That's 4ft. of vertical space needed, not counting the plants. In an eight foot tall room, that leaves room enough for about a 4 foot plant. Any taller, and you'll quickly run out of headroom.

First time, having problems Here is my situation: Closet setup, am using a HID florescent ballast for the growth phase then will switch to a HPS bulb for flowering. I have been running the florescent setup 24/7 for a little more than a month now. Plants are beginning to reach a foot tall. Started the seeds directly in standard "kegger" red cups which i cut holes in the bottom for drainage. I will be transplanting to a 6" pot once the plants start to show gender. (will also switch to HPS 12/12 at this point) Rating: 5
