ive got a 400 watt MH light about 1 metre above the plant i have a fan. But the when i moved the 4 cm plant from my window sill under my light it shrivles up and dies. Im growing it in my attic where its really dirty so i thought that might be the cause...can u tell me if you know any other reasons why i wont grow

probably too much heat produced for 1 plant from that light...generally when i moving a plant from a window, i stick it under some floroscents couple days to get the hang of artificial light, then hit em with the hps...light

if your growing in a loft you will need more than a fan to blow the air about.
My loft hits 35+ in the summer months and when the light is on its hotter still.
Without using a 6inch ruck to suck cool air from a cooler room in the house and blow into my grow room it would be way too hot.
Have you measured your temps at all?

If you've got your fan blowing directly at the plant then that'll be your problem and not the light as 1m above is were i'd start when swapping from natural to MH/HPS light,also check the soil isn't drying out to quick.
