Yes, your plants will be fine. If you think they are stretching then put the light a little closer and put your hand under the light. If it burns you then it will burn your plants. (Be careful) Also, lowryders are a great plant. Hope all goes perfectly well for you.

They are a great plant - I had to harvest her early cos the cat knocked her over and she snapped in two, but the smoke WAS very nice, although not on par with ones Ive had before.
Ive attached some chain and let the light down by about a foot/foot and a half, so heat can still escape from the top. I think I might be able to lower the light a little more actually.
So a note to anyone who has heat problems - get some chain and move the light down by attaching the reflector to a length of chain, that lets the heat escape upwards, thus not frying your plants.
