hey i was just wondering how far away a 150w mh light should be from the plants roughly, they only sprouted a few days ago so they are still tiny. also can anyone give me some advice or helpful tips on keeping the plants healthy and getting them to grow nicely? like i said they are tiny at the moment maybe 2cm haha. im a complete beginner as you can tell

Is you light air cooled or anything if you have an air cooled ( or water cooled ) move it closer. This is what I used for a 400w MH/HPS set up but I have an air cooled hood. You might be able to go with a foot right now. In the pic I sent is a 600w MH sitting at about 1 1/2 feet from the cannopy. I'm sure I can move it closer
I used this info here on my first grow. I run a 1000W and I keep mine 12-18 inches away. 150 you might get away with 8 inches? keeping them healthy, good soil,good nutrients and the proper environment
young seedlings can dry out very quickly. I'd leave it at least a foot or two away for the first week or two. i've had some seedlings dry out because of lights and it can seriously damage them.
