MarcXLanswered grow question 5 years ago If you get problems like described you should put more distance between the light and the plant. Use your hand to feel the heat at plant height. If the temp is comfortable for you over a minute it should also do for your plant, maybe add 5cm to that distance the first week. But to save energy and to be more eficcient i would recommend an LED Board with 6500k diodes and about 60W power, depending on your grow space. You get a good, efficient light for veg that way who normally don´t caus heat problems.
