I'm growing in a small cabinet. My 4 babies are only a week old. Right now, they're under 6-26w cool whites. The pots are placed right up an inch or two from the lights. Evertything is happy. I plan to lower the plants maybe an inch at a time as they get bigger. My question has to do with the distance from the lights. I realize during veg this is needed. Should I plan on to keep trying to have the plants a close distance during flowering too? I plan on LSTing them. The reason I'm wondering is that I'll be flowering using 4-42w bulbs, plus a couple cool bulbs in clamp lights, and the 42w bulbs get pretty warm so being close to those bulbs might get too hot for the plants.
I also have this grand idea of taking clones after sexing this first grow. Then vegging the clones slowly in a seprerate box. Then scrogging those clones in my original cab once the first grow is finished. I know I've gotta be flexible and I'm not sure this is do-able, but I wanna try something like that.
