Thanks for the tag @tenga…
I use a light meter and I can’t tell you how I do it because I got a relearn it every time. But once I get my distance set I just keep adjusting it to that. What I do know is you’re better off a little further away than to close. To close causes a lot of bad juju heat stress, light burn, Fox tailing etc…

Does she sit in water? If you keep them lifted off the ground even an inch of air space with air circulation underneath the roots should air prune themselves. It don’t matter none really … I’m Actually just passing on the Epiphany I had when someone explained air pruning to someone one day…lol I was like duh… Thus AIR pruning… Lol
I see the clear cup now…so she sits inside a red solo - gotcha 
I use to never use the clear inside a red but it is the way to go and it’s how I germ now all the time.

I usually start my lights at about 24" above the plant tops and end up with 18-20" above the tops, could go a little lower with the 100.

She doesn’t sit in the water. There’s a small-ish rock in the outside cup that keeps the clear cup about 1/4” off the bottom.
When I fed her this morning the water was covering the rock. As I take this picture now the roots have absorbed the water and it’s almost all gone!

Ok now not wanting to sound stupid here…but how in the hell did you get the stems through those spring clips??? And aren’t you worried the hole will get too small as they grow?

The binder clips come park like this.
I just put the silver part over the branch and then reattach it to the clip then put the clip onto the edge of the pot. I have done this with previous grows and the branches have never been affected by the size of the binder clip.

Your plant color seems to indicate you are feeding too little. Like the stress training.

I started 12/12 lights on the date 12/12, because I thought it would be easy to remember.
Anyway, It’s been a full week of 12/12 lights, and I defoliated a little today. I only took the leaves that I though were blocking the growth of the bud sites.
Both pots are already starting to feel light, so they’ll get fed tomorrow morning.
