texas grass Reviewed by texas grass on . CFL's distance from plant? hey guys i had a question. I have one plant right now with two cfl's about 25 w each. should i have these right next to the plant? like an inch or 2 away? or would that burn them? also if i do have the lights too close wont the plant not grow to its right height? any help would be great.
