How far...

Allrighty. Im starting my first indoor grow... just got my 1000 watt hps/mh light now how far should i keep the light away from the plant/pot? like as a seedling... should i keep it close by or no

no no no.....seedlings put that MH around 2 feet..end at around 12-18in away and flower around 12-18in.

jeez your gonna use the 1000 watt for seedling, thats a bit extreme, sortve a waste of electricity if you ask me
