Setting up air cooled refactor.I've got a new air cooled light refractor, a tube like one. I've set it up such as the pic, I'm thinking of putting the extractor where it shows on the pic with the air flow going the way of the arrow, would this be OK? I can't find anything online about setting this one up.

Lamp to Plant distance - Outdoor.If growing outside, what is the best way to calculate lamp (star) to plant distance for the journal each week based on time of year and rotation of our lovely planet? I am being facetious, of course! It's just a fun question for you all. Hope everyone out there good!

Bloom light on heat goes too high?When turning on the bloom setting the temps seem to be getting up to 84 on the very top of my tent and around 80-82 by the bud sites. Is this too high? Is there any problem turning the bloom high power switch off to let it cool down for a half hour once or 2 a day if too hot?
