First I'd just like to say that I really enjoy reading your posts... you're very enthusiastic and remind me of one of my college proffs... who drinks waaay too much coffee! Got a question and a suggestion...

So i have this friend who has a friend etc. who has a new ballist w/ 250w agrosun bulb (little more than 20,000 lumens). About how much grow area would this light provide? How many plants?

Also about your stretching problem... I dont have any genious LST or screening (dunno wat screening even means) ideas but would it kill you to just move the shelf the plants are sitting on down a little or remove it? May sound like a "newbie" suggestion but just seemed like the obvious solution to me.

Much love- DB
