you'll stretch those girls like there was no tomorrow. i'm with zandor, start your seedlings with fluorescent, or compact fluorescents. a meter +- a few inches will stretch the hell out of your seedlings.
whereas with fluorescents you can have the lights about an inch from the top of the plant without burning it
BobBong Reviewed by BobBong on . danger! danger! high voltage sorry, the title isnt very relevent, but its a great song. i have a 400w mh/hps and i am keeping it above my seedlings, about 1 metre +/- a few inches. for fear of burning the little sweeties could it be possible to substitute with a 40w desk lamp? if so for how long?
