My plants getting up there in age and through a random series of events I could now possibly be able to use an 400w HPS system in my closet. My plants are about 40 days into flower and have been using a little under 200w for their growth thus far and I've been as happy as I can be for my first grow thats gone somewhere.

Although my question is would it even make a difference to put them under the new lights for the reaming days or is they're growth pretty much already decided at this point. I figure even a short spike in accelerated growth could make a difference.

Thanks for picking away at my nub question! :jointsmile:

it will deff be worthwhile...

think like this... i flower under a 400w for the majority of the flower time, then put them directly under the 1000w during the last few weeks. seems to realy make them swell...

Well I hope it works out and I get to use one... theres another 400w without a ballast so thats too bad, i need to do some research and maybe i can pick one up.
