when to move light closer??

hello, i have 2 large sprouts, about an inch and a half in length, 1 medium sprout, around half an inch, and 2 more that are barely out of the ground. the bigger ones look like they are already starting to stretch, and i have my 400 watt HPS system 3 feet and 3 inches from the soil. how close can i get to my sprouts? i dont want stretchy weeds. but i also dont want to burn those little puppies out either... thanks...

Did you by any chance search and read this thread?

lol, rkm, rep to you for helping, while at the same time pointing out that he could have found the information himself if he had bothered to look. I swear, no one wants to do their own research these days.
