I have my lamp 8" away from the tops.
From your pics it seems like yours is 20 odd" away.
I use a decent desk-top fan to blow the heat away from the tops of the plants and help to keep the lamp cooler.
You will have to raise the lamp every day or 2 at this distance as your plants will grow a lot quicker.

When you SCROG do you bend the main cola so it doesn;t grow through the screen, and then train the lateral shoots that come off of that through the screen holes? And thanks I will check YOUTUBe eventually.
this is my first shot at it i guess u could. the main thing i figure is to keep it trained to grow low. so i think i can let the main cola grow thru a few inches then bend it thru one of the openings to make it horizontal again stay tuned and ye shall see
been battling ants a bit. switched fans, a little bending, u cant see much of bending yet. im.gonna let them grow thru a few inches then bend thru which ever direction i want them to go. just finished sweeping and tidying up a bit and snapping these pics some people been asking about the light thru where the doors meet you can see the cardboard i put to cover where they meet

How well is your shed sealed? If you have open gaps and your not putting some kind of filter on your intake then you are going to have insane bug problems. I would seriously suggest trying to get a good population of predatory insects, start with ladybugs, if they get out of control just get a couple preying mantis.
The best thing to do is to not get bugs in the first place, but I dont think thats an option for you so its going to be a constant battle, your not gonna want to use chems all the time, so I would seriously suggest setting up some defense, get on the bugs before you actually start to notice them, once you realize mites are there its too late to prevent them and its time to start the fight.
Also set up a perimeter, get some raid drops and stuff and go around the shed (on the outside)

Looks about the same sort of size as yours.
Always get the light as near as possible without burning the tops for maximum growth and quality

i was worried that the girls onthe outside edges wouldnt get as much light if i was closer .but i moved it closer already. the plant in the middle is going off, i might switch it with the smallest while its still possible.

Thats not a problem,just use rotation,move the plants around the area and slightly bend your reflectors side panels outwards to expand the field of light.
Thats what i do anyway

Rotation becomes impossible in a scrog, this is actually WHY your ScROG, to make better use of limited space and light.Thats not a problem,just use rotation,move the plants around the area and slightly bend your reflectors side panels outwards to expand the field of light.

You can either add more lights, move the light with an electric light mover, or just deal with the fact that the plants on the side wont get as big as the middle.

Yeah i only looked at the first couple of pages of pics and didn't really read through everything and didn't even notice scrog being used in the first pics.
I think scrog is rubbish anyway and i never do it but thats another story.
I just let them grow up and use bending and leaf removal to get bud from top to bottom instead of a screen of only tops.
Best of luck anyway
those things are all leaf. plus i have height limitationsYeah i only looked at the first couple of pages of pics and didn't really read through everything and didn't even notice scrog being used in the first pics.
