how far should the light be???

Whats up new here and a noob grower in my first grow, and i have two cfls about 2 inces from my plant its about 1 1/2 inches tall and has 6 leaves and im pretty sure i can see 2 lil ones that are gonna come in, anyway i put my hand between the light and the plant and it is not hot im just not sure bcuz the top leaves are a lighter green than the other 4 :confused:, other than that its growing and looks healthy just wanna b safe rather than sorry thanks for any help anyone can give!

It all depends how strong the cfl's are. If there the smaller bullshit ones then keep em close but if they are the bad boys move em a little up as they can dry the soil.
 
yea I have the lil bullshit ones lol the swirls that look round and they are both 100watt so thanks but is there a reason it is a lighter green or is that natural?

if the light green is coming from the inner part of the stem and middle of leaves then its normal. just a growin thing.





see?
