budgetgrower , you can get that bitch closer if you want. i bet up to 10 inches, make sure you have a fan blowing on any hot spots. BUT... the closer you get the smaller the focal point of the light will be so the outside plants will get less light. depending on your canopy shape it might be better to keep it at 15 as long as there not stretching your good .
iv seen guys that started growing like 5 years ago that went from getting crap harvest at 15 inches to huge harvest at 25 inches(with co2) . light isnt everything

the reflector is a sun system, and the tent is mylar so i have decent reflection, so the side plants are not suffering to much. so far i've been keeping the tallest ones on the edges and the shortest directly under the light to even things out. I think my UFO strain is sativa dom. my personal is alil more indica, shorter overall. by the end of the grow i might have tops directly on the glass. trying to find a innovative way to keep that from happening. i'll keep the club posted.

throwing this to any 600 club memeber. what is the closest you have let your plants get to the 600 bulb. Mine is aircooled by a 4" vortex. The glass on the closed reflector is luke warm to the touch. right now the plants are around 13 inches away and showing no heat stress.

I keep mine around 12 inches with a fan blowing across the bulb, no glass cover...no cooltube. I tried 10 inches but I noticed I was having light bleach and heat stress.

I like your style budgetgrower, thats the same way i set my canopy level. with the tall ones stacked up to the edge of the hood for a higher canopy( i get alot more light on my side branches that way) and 1 plant directly under the bulb. I keep 9 of them under a 600.....I havent done it but I,ve seen my buddy do this alot of times when his plants outstrecth the light and you dont wanna kepp lifting the light...he breaks the stem at a 90 degree angle. It might put a little bit of stress on them because they crack and grow a knot but it wont hurt the plant at all. I still see big tops even on the broken stems

I have air cooled hoods, and as long as my oscillating fan is on, blowing across the canopy, I can get away with about 10" from the top. If you're in flower, an early indication that the light is too close, before you see burns - the buds will lose the hair from the very top - it'll make kind of a bald spot - instead of being fluffy all the way across.

Very nice DG&T, keep us posted with pics as to how that girl turns out.

So now for a little entertainment, brain-twisting and head scratching. Thought I would post something different that I hadn't seen in my time on earth...as a matter of fact when I saw it I thought, what on earth is that?

So all guesses are welcome, these pics were taken about quarter till seven in the morning, tuesday morning if I recall. I did find out what it is so I do know. Let the guessing begin.

I thought I would snap some pics today before I started giving the girls some gravity. Gave them a feeding of grow big 6-4-4 with some cal-mag. Tomorrow they will get only water and saturday their first dose of gravity. I was looking at the seed packs today and it says ten to eleven weeks for the strawberry haze and nine to ten for the sour cream. The malawi 99 I think will also be done in a couple of weeks, maybe a week shorter than the thirteen I was expecting. The arjan's haze #1 may take thirteen or fourteen the way she looks now, we'll see.
