my light is 3-4'' away from the top of my plant
its a 150 watt daylight cfl
the leaves that go dry and crispy are the bigger or biggest ones
at the bottom and at the top of the plant ?

cfl's are kinda warm i have mine 6-12" away. try moving an inch or two away. I have 1-85w and 2-46w. they were burnig leave at 5" as the plants get older they seem to take the cfl heat better

cfl's are cooler then hid. i was burning leaf's with them at that age. the higher watt cfl's give off a bit to much heat for the youngsters. try 5" and if you can vent the light you'll be ok where you are. just my thoughts. I went therw this about a month ago.

don't think the t5's put off the heat the same way the cfl's do. had 4 sets of leaf's and I had the lights set at about 5" and most of the youngen's got a bit crispy it even killed a few of them.
