Hello all! I'm new to posting, but have been reading for months now.
My question: is there any problems other than heat for seedlings to start out under the HPS instead of CFL's? How high above the seedlings can I go before they start to stretch? I'm trying to keep the temp down. At two feet above the seedlings, the temp is reading 85. I'm thinking I could go three feet without any stretch?
Setup: 3x3x7 cab, 600W HPS Hortilux (vented) Vortex 172cfm blower. One Vortex 172cfm blower sucking in fresh air in the room from a portable air conditioner set at 72 degrees. Growing organically w/FF soil.
