I am growing my own lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes etc. plants in my basement for planting into my garden. There is a conflict in growing instructions for lettuce and cabbage. I have read that they grow best if the lights are several inches above the plants. I have also read that lettuce and cabbage like the growing temperature to be around 60 degrees. The problem is that when the lights are several inches above the plants the soil temperature is around 75 degrees. BTW they are grown in an unheated (around 55 degrees) basement. Is there any best solution or only some compromise? Thanks, Richard
