well i transplanted my babies into 1 gallon under 1000watt hps or hid whatever the light is. my babies leaves are frying and curling and browning tips. i raised the light higher today, but can anyone tell me how far away the lights should be from the babies. and also if its already fried can i still save them? i dont want them to go to waste.
put your hand under your light at the level of the tops of your plants. Wherever you can put the light where your hand can stay there comfortably for 60 seconds is where you want the light. Increase the airflow between the light and yourplants.
This is why I think a neewbee and a 1000 watt HID light is like giving a 16 year old keys to a Ferrari. Dude you have a 1000 watt light and you don't even know what type of light it is? Anyway for seedlings I would be at least 24 inches away from the tops using a 1000 watt whatever it is.
