keep light distance close without burning.. by using the back of the hand method
try bending... you can use the twisty things that are used to tie the bag of bread...tape it to the side of your flower pot/container and use the other end as a hook to hold your plant while your training.....
topping is another good way to go, plus FIM
i personally like to keep CFL's about 1 1/2 to 2 inches away (top and side lighting)... plus i'll bend it.... i just started doing the FIM... just to experiment... and the height of my grow space for now is only about 2 feet..ha.. but it works.. with multiple plants
