Yo guys...right, i recently bought a cool tube for my 600Whps bulb, works well, however ive now got the lamp about a foot away from my babes, which is making them grow pretty densely, but its raised the temps to 34/35 celsius, now if i move the light up to 2foot away the temp where they are drops to 28 celsius, theyre in veg stage atm, whats gona be better, keepin the light as close as poss without burning, or lowering the temps??? can only be one or the other atm until i get an intake fan....

You need to keep it at least a ft away from the top of the canopy. I have seen one too many times where people have neglected to raise their lights and it has severely burned the top of their plants. You don't want your 600w to be smoking your stash before you get to.

I always keep the light as close as possible. Never too much light. If you love growing as I do you'll know the plants and their behavior as if they were your children. Keep a fan blowing and watch the leaf edges. If they start curling, raise the light. Bushy is good. Remember, they will stretch when flipped to 12/12. One love
