Most flourescents (if that is one im pretty sure) are cool bulbs and wont get too hot. If you are going to keep it inside yr gonna need a better light wonts its not a seedling anymore. If your keeping it outside the constant change from in to out can cause unwanted stress.

The light should be as close as it can get without huriting the back of your hand when you put it at the plants height. (about 1-3 inches)
DE.Db33t Reviewed by DE.Db33t on . 2 days in.... For right now I've been putting it outside during the day as its been very very sunny here in MN as of late, but then I switch it inside later on. I'm using a 40 watt bulb that puts out around 2500 lumens, and I've been really excited watching the new plants progress! My question is, how far away is safe, or need I should say for this to turn out? I've read 1-2 inches and I've seen others mentioning that it shouldn't be as close in the early stages. Obviously later on if they are to touch Rating: 5
