re: First Time Grow Closet - CFL & HID - 3 Plants - Check Me Out!
You can move them closer if you want. Try using a book or a vhs case or something like that and as the plant gets bigger then take them away 1 by 1. With cfl they have to be a inch or 2 at the very most away or the stems will elongate needlessly which is called stretching. It isnt to big of a problem but then you will have to do more work in that you will have to get the plant our and rebury the stretched part or it wont be able to hold the leaves.
