I had is about 16 inches. Just moved it to 12".
I added the CFL’s this morning, so hopefully they will help with the stretch too.
They’re rated 100 watts, but 23watts true power.

Hopefully they’ll be OK at that height for the day, as I’m at work until 5.
I do keep a exhaust fan going, so the heat from the lights shouldn’t be an issue.

They look great
They will love bigger pots and outdoor life once you get them out there 
Keep us posted

I finally got them transplanted outside in a little greenhouse.
I used 10 gallon fabric pots, happy frog & FFOF soil, with added perlite.
Dusted the top of the soil with food grade DE for pests.
2 White Widow Fem
2 Bubble Gum
2 Gold Leaf

Thanks nug-bug.
I can only imagine how much they’ll grow over the next 4 months of veg!
Thanks Bob!
I’m happy to move these girls outside, as they outgrew the little tent they were crammed into.
Also looking forward to giving my electric bill a break LOL, using that big beautiful sun to grow!

What is the “food grade DE” you say you dusted the top of the pots with?
Here a screen shot of the one I bought you can look it up on Amazon
It’s a old school method for controlling bugs I wouldn’t put it on a flowering plant but in veg no problem after that just soil
Most of use keep it in our arsenals it’s cheap enough and works well I dust the floor of my green houses as well as all around my house foundation

Thanks John.
This was a very productive weekend for me.
The greenhouse is small 6 x 8 x 6’2" tall.
If they get too big this summer, I may have to move a couple out and/or dig down a foot or two to allow for more height.
I hope your busy is a good busy (projects or OT)

I am quickly realizing this little greenhouse will be outgrown in a matter of weeks.
The plants grow SO much faster outdoors than in!
Greenhouse is 6’ 2" tall & the plants are already reaching for the top.
@Countryboyjvd1971 & @bob31 ~ first off, happy father’s day!
What do you think is the best option for height?
SCROG may be too cramped with 6 plants (it a 6 X 8’ tent)
I can dig down to make more head room, but this seems like a temporary fix.
Get another greenhouse? or move outdoors?
On another note, my new rain barrel has filled up quickly with these down pours!
