Just got a 1000W MH

So I just went and bought a 1000W MH with the reflector for under $300 canadian. How far should this light be from my plants? Right now I am only using it for a 2'x2' areas, I know I can go bigger, and I plan to. I use it mainly for hoyas and foliage plants.....most of them are quite small, so once they gain some foliage, I will move them into windows. Right now I have the light about 2 feet above the plants. The heat isnt really a problem since I have a 12000 btu air conditioner going in the same room.....My dining room has turned into a grow room.....lol.

I would love to hear any tips on using this light, its pros and cons and anything I should watch for. This is my first HID light so I want to do it right.

Thanks

Tracy
