Second grow + quality genetics = much healthier plants

The title pretty much says it all.

On my first grow I used the G13 Labs freebies I got with my order. I messed up a lot of stuff but even so I doubt they could have matched the vigor I'm seeing from my Barney's Farm G13 Haze & DNA Kushberry. Especially the G13 Haze. I even had the CFLs 18in off the plants in an effort to slow their growth so I would have smaller plants during my moving. They did slow down but they're still growing like crazy, especially after I dropped the lights a week before I moved. I have to LST them every day to keep them in check. They even grew noticeably during the 12hr or so I had them in a box with no light.

I'm super excited to see the explosion of growth as I switch to flowering. They already smell delightfully like a skunk.

You should get the bulbs closer to your plants to avert stretch, not the other way around.

I thought of it a different way and regardless of the popular opinion on this topic (and yes, I know about stretching) it seemed to work. Basically I provided enough light to prevent siginificant stretching (or any, in my case) but not enough to promote vigorous growth.
