I would use hps now away a little and the cfls closer. I did that with my 400 n 10+ cfls n it worked out nicely.

The cfl's should be fine for a while at least till the clone is well established. Do you know what the k rating is on the cfl's they should be around the 5000k mark for veging.

experiment a little. see how they respond to the lights
do u guys think i could have my fan on when its about 10 inches and the stem strength would be the same as if i had it on when it was 6. Cause lots of people have told me not to have a fan on a clone until its a foot tall, but everyone on this forum says i should.

as soon as i take a clone out of the box and put it in veg it gets a slow fan and 405 watts mh & cfl. plant goes on the floor for a day or 2 and then it gets put up on blocks within 8" of the lights under 24/7 till its ready for 12/12 hps.everyone does it different. master kush likes it like that. I'm trying to make big clones though, so they are pretty tough once they root
