so it need more water more often now im guessing this is due to the HPS light. it appears the buds love the light.

6" or 8" to be safe to start, but using it vertically is a bad idea since most of the light comes off horizontally and just mounting vertically alone cuts HID bulbs output even further.
Hardly any light comes off the end of the bulb. Compare holding your hand under the end and then off to the side, see how much brighter off to the side is...
Also don't trap that heat in with foil, it's just for cooking turkeys and stuff.

they ARE money. search around for the 150watt HPS inspirational thread, it shows different ways of setting the light up properly.
