distance from light to plant

[blackxs]

Dude MOVE THE LIGHT FARTHER

Sprouts dont need a LOT of sun. That light could be 6' away and be fine the first two weeks. Lower it gradually.

2' away, your gonna burn those suckers as soon as they pop out of the soil.
2' away is distance from a FULL GROWN plant, to the metal halide. Even 2' with a full grown plant is kinda close from my research. You need to get your plants accustomed to the sun, start it much farther away and move it closer, gradually, until you notice plant health problems. Then move it up another few inches.

THAT is why your plants died
