first time, they look dry and burnt

i just picked up my first clones they were in tiny plugs. i got them home and left them under the t5 for 5 hours at about 10 inches away, when i checked them the leaves were dry and burnt, i immediatly transplanted and soaked them good. either they were really thirsty or the light is too close. how far do i put the t5's from these babys? thanks

Are they rooted?1 ft. should be good.Pics would help.

1 ft ok, the guy at the light store said hes got his inches away

its better to start young seedlings further from the light as you want to establish a robust root system before your plant starts to grow. Also the older and more mature a plant gets the stronger and more tolrant it will be. My guess is it was too hot get a therm. and check the temp 90 degrees is to hot!

i moved the light up and soaked them, now they look ok. thx
