is a 400mh to much light for clones at the very beginning, i have it at 2 1/2 feet and the temp at the top of the plants about 75. I have a fan keeping the whole light area really cool.

What are ya growing in. Hydro / soil?? 2 ft. is plenty of space for 400 W. when leaves curl up toward the light its usally a heat problem, when the leaves curl down its a soil or
some hydro prob. over nute, Ph lock out, need more info.

Clones take a few days to come around. I had Skunk#1 clones that lost all the 3 sets of leaves but the next day right in the center they were growing new sprouts. But its very
important to keep resv. temps below 77 on avg. or lower. Every time I change out my
10 gallon rubbermaid I put 3 gallons of plastic water jugs in my refriderater and add those cool gallons to my roots. W/ hygrozime and my plants are doing well.
