Question about Seedlings and Lights

Hey everybody...

I'm in the midst of germinating my seeds, and I have one quick question before I begin: I'm using a 1000w switchable light, so how high off the plants should the light be after the seeds finish germinating? I've heard from 3 feet to 10 feet, and I'd like to know what you all think. Thanks

you didn't tell us what kind of light you have. should i assume HPS or MH? 1000 watts is way more than you actually need, and it might actually do a lot more harm than good. i forget the exact wattage, but i know seeds can be germinated with a flourescent light. 25w or something, i forget. research it, it's not too hard.

If its anything than a floro.....if its too hot for your hand, its too hot for a leaf and move it farther back.

I have a 1000w switchable light system, so I can run either MH or HPS. Right now, it's running an MH, as that's what you want during Veg.

I don't know if I have the money to get a fluoro hanger and then the tubes, as that would run me like $55. THis grow is sucking money out of me like a fuckin' leech, so I have to watch my spending. I was thinking of moving it up to like 8 or 10 feet above the plants when the seeds are first planted, but I'm not sure. Any input is appreciated!
