j dogg, I read somewhere on here that a guy sprouted seeds with a 1000... he said the light was 5 feet away.. 3 feet seems to close to me.. your biggest concern should be that the 1000 watter will dry out your soil and kill your seedlings.. keep a close EYE... be obsessive..keep the soil moist around the tap root(sprout). A light like that can dry out a seedling in minutes..

word!

Garden Knowm Reviewed by Garden Knowm on . Hieght of 1000w MH during seedling stage? All I have is a 1000W MH to pop the seeds.I've germinated them and they will be placed in the grow bags today.I'm thinking 3-4 feet above soil should be OK.I'll test heat with the back of my hand ofcourse and raise it if needed.But I don't want them to stretch either. Any suggestions. ;) Rating: 5
