Can someone please tell my about how far away to keep my 250 w mh (fan blowing on it) from seedlings. They are in a SH Bubbleponics unit and are just 5 days old. I know about the hand heat test but because these are so young is it okay to use it. I dont want it to far away but I sure dont want to burn them. I had my 250 w hps within 5"-6" at flowering.
if you have yours in a cool tube you can get it real close man. i have mine like 3-4 inches away with no signs of damagebongsmilie

No cool tube as I mentioned. Wondering how close I can get it without one. Some said 12" and that's where I put it last night. No problems with heat this morning when they woke up.

I think I got it figured out now. Try blowing a fan on the light. I use a 12" oscillating fan I blow between the tops & the lights and another 6" fan I point at the tank. My water really heats up without it.

some pics from my current closet grow. 4 plants under 250W hps cooltube.

You can see that some of the hair are already going red.... I can't remember this happening before, and I'm worried that I'm gonna be facing problems with root bound. I was afraid of that since I decided to go with those small pots, and now I'm not sure what's exactly happening..... any opinions?

If they are in pots, just go ahead and transplant them into bigger ones. Just pop them out and replant everything, soil & roots into a bigger pot and put new soil all around and on top of them. They shouldnt even notice.
