The hand test...

I think a good test is the hand test...

Place your hand under the light, and move it closer until it starts burning... then place your plants just a little bit lower.

You should have air circulation over your 'canopy' and/or over your plants. You might consider a sealed reflector housing... or a cool tube.

your plants look very similar to mine at the moment i was just wondering how old they were ?
:thumbsup:

its approx three weeks old, started off in frosty conditions.

If you raise the light a little the plant will stretch some and grow taller. That way you get more buds. There is a balance that needs to be played out between stretching for height and closeness of the light to the lower parts of the plant. It does take a certain amount of stretch to grow them big and heavy. To flower you move the light closer then in vegetation cycle. During vegetation cycle you want the plant to stretch some so you have more room for flowers to form.

Thanks Zandor, you are awesome. I wish I had that knowlegde.
I shall raise the lights a little. For some reason I thought the closer I kept it to plant the quciker plant would grow...
I know, I'll a total idiot.
But very willing to learn.
