Damn, I would say more than 2 - 3 feet if it's a 600 watter over newly sprouted seeds. When I sprout seeds I just a couple of growlux bulbs a foot away or so over a humidity dome until the seeds are sprouted and have some roots. After they have some roots I transplant to a bigger container and move under a higher powered light moved as far away as I can get it. After that I move it 3 inches or so closer every day until it's the appropriate distance away.

As long as they don't look burned I guess that could work but I would think it would stress it. But hell if I know, I'm only going into my second grow.

Hope that helps
 
I found removing as much stem as possable when trimming greatly improves the taste. The stems seem to wick flavor out of the buds. Then I put it in tupperware open until outside of bud is dry. then cover for 1/2 day til dry
 
When the plants are hanging up drying do they need to be in a dark place as wel?
 
have you ever heard of cutting the whole thing at night? my buddy was telling thats the best to do because when the plan is sleeping, all the chlorophyll in the plan get stored in the root-ball for storage since the plant is not photosynthesizing. says its a smoother smoke and easier to burn when fully dried and cured.
but i haven't tried it.... yet so no personal opinions to fully back this up :-P
 
\well i gave what i was told by harvesting in the dark/at night


i read in high times if ya don't give it water for a good 24 to 48 hours before harvest cut resin production increase by i believe 15% thats what Jorge Cervantes claims
