As long as it doesn't touch the bulbs I'm good. I also keep a fan moving the plants.

Depends.
2 or 4 ft and how many bulbs?
I run a 4ft 8 bulb fixture. The bulbs are double stacked. Its like 15 inches wide. I'm running 8 bulbs in the same size most run four.
About ten inches is it for me. Any closer and it fries them. I'm also running UV though.

6" is a good distance for T5 lighting. Veg or Flower either one. BUT....you should always double your light in flower. Example: you have a 48--4' 8 bulb assembly. You veg using 4 center bulbs . Use all 8 bulbs for flower. Alternate spectrums---full spectrum. Gives more influence to those certain characteristics you are looking for. Tighter. Frostier. Oilier. Gardener talent prevails here.

Yes. They are in 15 inch wide pots for size reference.
This was a two plant scrog. That was a 15 gallon barrel cut in half so 7.5 gallon pots.
