Sounds Awesome, have ya got any pictures? I think 1000w could be about a foot away give or take a few inches either way, also I read somewhere along my journeys to place a string from your hood to your plants to keep track of the height of the light...

Check out my measly cfl grow,

wow!!!!

that's way too close imo, if you don't get burns, you'll most likely get bleaching.

i keep mine no closer than 2' away, and that's pushing it....

I'm sorry I did mean around 2 foot as I was told to keep a 600w hps 18 inches away, I got confused, please do forgive me, thanks kindprincess for clearing that up...
