the quality of the light decreases with distance from the bulb
useful light from cfl's only travels a few inches (quite a few inches)
hps travels much further
this is why you get better buds, especially below the top
it's also why many growers use different techniques to grow
the more budsites that have easy access to useful light the better your yield will be without increasing running costs
so you can top the plant, or train it to stop it growing straight up and just growing one large bud on top.
