Distance from light to flowering plant

[The scientist]

I am on my first grow and have 4 plants, eac of varying height. I use a 400-watt HPS in a 7"x4" closet. I want to start flowering but I am afraid that the buds on the tallest plant, which is about 4" tall, will get burned. I have the shorter plants elevated on stands so I am not worried about them. Currently the top of the tall plant is about 10 inches from the bottom of the ballast. I can only raise the light another 4 or 5 inches. The temperature in the room at the top of the tall plant is 80-85 degrees, but I have a fan blowing on the plants. What should I do to keep from burning the buds?

Thanks for any help

Bend the tall plants over. You can tie the top over and tied it down. You will have more canopy area for more top buds.

Yeah i would tie that tall plant down. I just did this to my puna budder female becasue she is taller then where my lights hang now, but the rest of the plants the lights height is perfect. I tied around the stem in the middle of the plant first, then tied the other end to a hook located close to the floor. Slowly bend the plant and ease it into position, mj plants can bend more than most plants. I then tied another string about 8inches back from the main tip and tied that up the ceiling, this leveld out the main cola and now looks like a vine. Hope this detail helps you get the image in your head! Peace and love!!!!!!!! Keep us posted!!
