I just moved my high-light plants under a 3 fluoescent tube fixture last night. That are about 3-4 inches away from the tubes.

My senses tell me that should be good enough light You will see the change...if the leaves go red

[Matthews]

Is it too much light?

[smartie2000]

No I think a little redness will indicate you are giving enough light for catts. Of course you can reduce lighting if you see too much redness.
Young growths will often start out red and then they become green.

May be very soon you will see how the spike looks. Good luck!
