Try the growers forum fella, you'll probably get a better and more knowledgeable response.

Yes, try the growing section.

But, I'll tell ya, 25W is not going to produce shit man. It maybe doing okay now, but once flowering hits, things will move very slow and the outcome will be next to nothing. To get anything worthwhile, you need a min of 50W per.sq.ft of lighting. Get more lights. If you're going to use floros for flowering as well, you're going to want to double your wattage. So if you use 100W for vegging, you want a min. of 200W for flowering. If you don't, again, things will move evry slow and the outcome will be shit.

Hope this helps, peace.
