alkbud.... when you are germinating, you don't need the light.. but once it sprouts... you will need to bring the light down to wihin 1 foot. keep the soil moist until the plant has established some deep roots.. MOIST, not muddy).. after 7-14 days, you should bring the light to within 1 inch of your plant and keep a light fan blowing between the top of your plants and the light...

the closer the light, the bigger the buds...

good luck
