I've definitely been evening out the canopies, and I've had the lights about 2 inches away for the entire grow so far. I guess what I really need to know is what's more important: a light above the plant or a light on the side? I don't want the bottom to not bud, but I also don't want the top to bend sideways looking for light.

I posted a pic of what I've got. good? bad? what could be better? (besides more cfl's... Im unfortunately out of outlets haha)
