Pepper Plants that I started so Far!

Does it bulk up your plants more if the light is closer? I noticed mine are doing alot better since I did that. Or is it that they are receiving more of the light ?

I'll try to lower them some tomorrow then. I was wondering if they were close enough.
Optimal condition is almost touching.
 
Plants look good Pcola...

Light quantity decreases by the square of the distance. i.e. if you have the lights 1 inch from the top of the plants they will get X amount of light. If you have them 2 inches from the plants you will get X/4 amount of light.
