Seedling lighting distances

[Idgie420]

It's been awhile since I've grown and I can't recall the distance between the grow bulb and the very young seedling?

What does the manufacturer say?

Grow bulb? Oh do tell. Post a pic

Does your grow bulb have a steel gage around it. Oh yes, pic please.

What's the point of folks asking questions when we don't know the " bulb " specs???????????????

Somewhere between 5inches to 36inchs.... Though like comments mentioned above.... It would really depend on the bulb. A weak CFL you could keep as close as 5 inches but you would need a lot of them. A hps bulb probably around the 36in area. Same with a metal halide around the 30in area.
