How far should you have a 400 mh or hps from top of plants?

With a good horizontal reflector, a 400w should be 15-20 inches above plant tops. It will light an area about 3ft x 3ft.

It all depends on what stage the plant is at though, if its just a seedling that could be a little intense for them.
