that 1k light is prolly fine where its at. those plants look pretty young so keep an eye out. 1ks can be a bit strong and the plants will letcha know if your light is too hot/close. things will get crispy and crunchy and leafs will start to look all "burnt" for lack of a better term atm....
but it looks ok to me from that one pic you posted. as long as the temp at the top of the plant isnt any higher than 90F you should be aight with that height at this stage.
what KIND of
fox farm soil did you get?
ocean forest? light warrior?
if its ocean forest, id add perlite and keep the peat and vermiculite for another grow. (vermiculite is good, straight up, for a hydro style grow but the plants will need extra support, but, i digress.....)
with ocean forest a 60%soil/40%perlite ratio isnt unheard of. its stretches the medium, but, youll hafta compensate with added nutrients.
60soil-40perlite is ok....so is 70soil-30perlite. the reason i say add perlite to the ocean forest is simple. it compacts, pretty quickly, with waterings/feedings. the perlite ensures good aeration and drainage, which, is key to good plant growth/root structure.
if its the light warrior, id prolly make a ratio of 60%soil/20%peat(or earthworm castings)/20%perlite.
its not as heavy as the ocean forest, but, can still benefit from a lil added perlite, imo.
again, mileage, and opinions vary and the only real advice that will work is the advice that best applies to YOUR situation....
hope that helps somewhat, and, we're here if ya got anymo questions or need things explained further.
i have a habit of confusing or throwin too much info at once.
