CFL Grow, Need some help!

Hello, I just joined so I hope this is a good place to get some help. I'm currently growing with CFLs 300 Watts total in coco. I just entered the flowering stage and I'm exactly one week in and there 3 foot 6 inches. Everything has been going great for a first time grow. But I have ran into a problem. I have to travel for work, and will be gone for a total of two weeks. I have no one that can look after them. There growing so fast at this point I'm afraid with no one to raise the CFLs they will grown into the light. I believe I have read that the farthest you can raise the lights is 8 inches? I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or solutions.
Thanks!

set them in a big tub with like 3-4 inches of water so they wont dry out and pull the light away far enought they wont grow into them.... you could have the lights 2 ft away and they will surive, they grow into the light and it could be death for sure..

So pulling the lights away for that long wont kill them?
