Light distance.

My plant is like week old and im using CFL bulbs. So ive heard people talking abou putting light 4 or more inches from the top of plant. So how far i should put.

I have had great success with the bulbs being within 2 inches of the plant and sometimes as close as nearly touching if there is a fan blowing directly on them. I have never had a problem with my leaves burning.

Turn your CFL on.... Now grab it, is it Hot? How close to it did your fingers get before you felt the burn of the heat?
I routinely keep my CFL's about 2-3" from the growing parts of my plant...
Some say 1-2" fine, not me, I have had a shoot from a few of my plants grow more than one inch over night....and a few times, I have burnt a tip.... cut off burn if this happens, and you should get two tips in it's place...
Good Luck man!

i agree with Sand, hold the back of your hand up to the bulb, when you reach a point where it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your plants.

peace, bozo
