I have heard that since the closer the plant is to the light at the tallest point it can be as hot as 100 degrees or more and in turn diminishes thc content and growth. Keeping the light a further distance prevents that and all though there will be some stretching at the early stages in the long run it will be better....any thoughts?

Just put your hand under the cool tube or cool hood what ever u guys use and if your hands don't burn move it a bit down until it gets lil worm on your hands keep it at that level keep on eye on it cause plants still grows and u don't want to burn your buds it works fine for me and it all depends on the air that's entering the cooltube/hood if it's cool it keeps the bulbs cold and u can have it closer then having room temperature blowing through the lights that's why a lot of people use a window and they use a booster 400cfm blowing fresh air From The window passing trough the light and out the window and it works fine for me and for my homies and the good this about it hope this helps u guys
