simple way is to put your hand in there and fell for yourself, if its to hot for you to keep it in there at plant hight, so it will be for your plants, good air circulation and a fan on the bulb pointed away from the plants can do a lot, so can a cool tube or hood

how big is your light ? 400 or 600W ?

I had my 600W at about 20 inch`s before I got my cool hood on, now I keep it at 12-15"

look at the leaf`s if they are curling upwards they are to hot

you can harm the plant if the light is to intense. your leafs will start to bleach out. im not sayin that closer isnt better but you have 600 watts how big is you room how many plants?

if praying your good, thats a sign of healthy plants, just keep a eye on em, dont want to put stress on em near the end and maybe get foxtailing, keep a good air flow/circulation and temps under 80F and you should be good ..

plants look great man. you can easily check what the temp is at the very top of the plant by using a thermal probe. and i would avoid black pots as they hold in heat.

im have 14 plants in flowering about 4-6" inches away from my 1000W, i cheat and use a light rail so it dosent stay over anything long enough to cook it, i just maintain that 4-6 inches and put a fan blowing inbetween the tops of plants and my lights. i vegged 40 days from seed, took 4 mothers and put the rest into flower, im hoping for qp or better per plant with no popcorn at the bottom cause my lights so damn close.
