ok my setup is as follows
t5 for clones and seedlings
400 mh for veg
600 hps for flower
for each stage how far should i keep the light from the top of plant?

also i have like 10 bright white 23w cfls
would these help at any stage? or should i just get rid of them?

As far as time goes in veg as long as you want.... as long as you keep 18-24 light cycle the plant will continue to grow and grow and grow lol in veg depends on what strain you have most indicas are an 8 week plant but any sativa will be 9+ weeks...research what ya got and you'll know how long in bloom

as close to the plants as possible without burning them (keep them udner 80 degress is a safe bet.) and yea i do veggie 24/0, and flowering 12/12
