Light/Plant Distance?

[shovlboy]

Right now I could only get my 1000 watt light 37" away from my plants, they are 4 weeks old. Is that ok?

Why so far??? You need to try to gradually get it about 12 inches or under unless you have poor ventalation that won't allow you, but either way you need to get that light allot closer or you may as well be using a 400W at this point.

yep ,
what the bear said .
general rule of thumb is if you can keep your hand at canopy height while under the light n just be cozy warm you'll be cool .

Alright, well the lights are hanging from the ceiling, and the pots are sitting on my tray which is 20 inches tall. I bought light adjusters and they dont go down far enough. but I will get it fixed...thank you
