Yep just for now till the roots grow out I have a string going from the grow medium down to the oxygenated nutrient mix and eventually the roots will grow out into the nutrient and it'll grow theretill I have to change reservoir to bigger

Well ok I have this old timer telling me raise my damn light up to 16 inch away from the tops and if I'm not mistaking I think it's 6-12 inch for a 400 w metal halide with cool tube?

16 inches is awfully far away..

6-7 inches is pretty damn close...like too close. You can't possibly be getting proper light coverage for all your plants being that low seems to me

Recommended typical OLH distances:
400w HPS: 1 foot
600w HPS: 1.5 foot
1000w HPS: 2 foot

I haven't a clue what Hanna burn is. But yeah of course if the light is too close the leaves will burn even long before being in contact with them
