thanks chowder, that's the problem, the bigger lamp has to be used somewhere else...
In an hour the early veg cfl's will be coming on and I'll have 45 minutes to make up my mind...the thing is I believe after reading your reply; that you misunderstood me or I didn't make it clear enough...I have 9 plants now...5 soil, 4 DWC, the 2-3 that you are talking about, I figured I could harvest, even though early and leave the rest/5 or 6 plants to bud more! moving my 400mh to a new veg area...or, I could put all 9 in the room with the 250+2/45's...whadyathink?
