Can you keep the back of your hand at the level where the top of the plant is for 30-60 seconds and it not be uncomfortable? Thats what matters when determining how close you can keep the light, just remember the closer the better.

Dont put so much into those peoples opinions and do what is working for you. I mean you said yourself its not showing and signs of stress from it and the closer the better. People sometimes take the charts and guidelines set by some random *expert* way too seriously, look at jorge cervantes following. Lol, just kidding on that part.

i have to agree with you there 100% biggest mistake i made from growing was listening to other ppl that i thought knew what they were doing. seriously 90% of my friends claim they can grow but dont know shit when it comes down to it. no wonder why they never had anything to show for it.
