Sounds like a good setup. Just remember that ballast can get kinda warm I have a fan on mine to keep it cool. Its not hot enough to start a fire or anything like that but i think it will last longer if I keep it cool.

far enough so you get even light over the tops while maintaining a proper canopy heat....an close enough so the plants dont excessivly stretch for light...peace az

Natmoon suggested I have mine 8 inches from the tops of my plants... suddenly the buds started getting fatter and fatter!!! Basically as close as you can get with out burning them.

I like tham as close as I can get them. I will lower them then put my hand at the tops and see how hot it is. If i can keep my hand in place and its like a hot sunny day im good if it gets hot on my hand I move it up an inch os so till I dont think it will burn. Also keep in mind that the plant will need a few days to get used to the new light. so... I would keep it like 2ft away and move closer each day. Hope this helps and I want a pic when its all set up. I have to move my veg room till I get my tile done so thats what im doing today.

I have my 400 8" away from the tops of the plant.
You may even notice slight bleaching of the tops but don't worry about it.
I previously didn't recommend this distance because it is more risky as you have to keep a closer eye on them in case they have a growth spurt and get burned:blsmoke:
