You got a pick?

2 feet away shouldn't cause problems, but the plants shouldn't be burnt looking.

Air temp is less important than water temp ime - it's a lot easier to keep air temp below 80-90 than keep water temp 65-70.

I had mine at 18 to 20 inches away any closer I was getting burned leafs. try to keep your flower room at 45% humidity

far enough so that heat doesent burn your plants but close enough that your plant doesen't try to stretch to much.
