Wow. I keep my floros at 1-2’ inches. 24x4 t5ho. Plants are still stretching. The stretch you will get from light deprivation is not an ideal stretch. It will be spindly.Yeah of course I thought about what I would lose by needing to raise the lights. They're 8 inches away and I figure that is not so far of a distance. I was told by many experienced grower's in previous scrogs that I should raise these cfls to 18 inches or more to acquire stretch during vegging. But they are cfls and need to be kept close which is why I always took that advice very lightly.
Using different kelvins is a better option imo. Also tight nodes usually make fat nugs :)
Anyway you’re doing very well as it seems. Just saying (i think) lighting 100 cfls at 8 inches and lightin 25 at 4 theoretically gives out the same lux value on the canopy.
