Yes, that sounds a lot. Theres a whole mathematical formula for Lux drop off, but I don't know it off by heart. Something like the drop off difference between 12" and 24" is 4 times or something. I suspect that at 2 ½' you may get more lux with a 250HPS at 12".

I have my 400 HPS at 35cm, or 12 ½".

I'd like to get it even closer but 27-28C is as high as I want to go.

I had my month old plant 18 inches under my 400watt MH, and this morning i found a few leaves on the top of the plant got pretty burnt.. i took it out from under there and put it under 2 26 watt Cfls... should i cut off the dried and burnt leaves? or do i just let it try and heal itself? also... how high can i put my 400 watt so that it wont burn my plants?
