I have this as a temp fix right now you'll notice its close to the wall, but I figured the mylar, the fan next to the plants, and the squirl fan bringing in cool air would keep the walls fine. It seems they arnt conducting much heat at all which is good.

Now this is a 1000 Watt HPS and its about 3 and 1/2 feet from the little seedlings, I dont have my 400w MH over here or it would be on, I have to go pick it up today.

These little guys in any danger of getting burned?


Thanks!

There's one way to find out, but especially in a small space like that, I don't see how you could get away with not hooking that squirrel fan up to your reflector

I would keep the seedlings under a weaker light if you can get one. Hydro store should have cheap t5s for like 30$. If you have a kwatt on them they could just stop growing and then die because the light is too hard on them. Keep it real far away and watch temps if you cant get weaker lights for seedlings
