have 2 babies in the box with airflow now they are about 6 inches tall they look like they are reaching up to the light to hang on it like it is a set of monkey bars straight up they are not hanging down i have a 70 watt hps about 8/10 inches away i just moved the light down to 5/6 inches away i have a little fan blowing on them and the light they look like they are dancing in there i feel the heat on the back of my hand but it is not hot it is warm kinda was down there about a minute or so but i got tired of that keep the light as is or move back up

that sounds good. if their is a way to put your thermometer right under the light and at plant hight, that will give you an accurate temp. the whole time.

Good advice. A hygro-thermometer (both temp and RH) are about $6 at your local box store. Put your mind at ease.

buy this and place it by the plants what if i cant get it right up to the top put at the bottom maybe i can clip it down from the light to the tops of the plants and if i can i think i can with some paperclips or something like that if i get near the tops of the plants what should the temp be 70-78 degrees or so? what should i do tonight just let it ride like it is or raise the light back up? i could stay up about 2 hours or so and see what happens between now and then if it is bad what will i be looking for? if good what then should i see?
