Yeah I understand, and I actually tried to have the light a couple inches away but they didn't grow much until I moved it away a little bit lol. and for the light, I really have no idea lol (sorry). my friend gave it too me, saying that it was some beast grow light (doesnt seem like it). Ive searched a bit but idk, there's no name, or model, or anything. the soil was a mix of 2 medium-high grade planters soil. my plans for the amnesia haze is to just get as much yeild as i can for how small it is. and for the retard haze, i want to get a lot of bud (of course lol), but I want it to be healthy enough at the end to be able to get some good, healthy clones (as compared to my amnesia haze lol) and start it all over again (eventually having a large amount of plants at diff. stages, so when one is harvesting, another is close behind) and by then, hopefully ill be able to buy some better lights (which is essential). and i know what you mean, I just dont have much experience, or cash for that matter, and i appreciate your help!
