So I'm building a box using a large PC tower. I'm at the point where I'm going to be mounting my lights. I've decided to use a power strip and plug 3-4 CFLs directly into it. Throughout my research so far I've seen several posts indicating the importance of always maintaining a light to plant distance of 3 - 5 inches. How concerned with this should I be given the size of my tower? If I keep them permanently mounted at the top I could stack the flowerpots up on books to reach the lights, and slowly pull them away as the plant grows, correct? Would this be the best method?
