LOL @4 or 5 feet when put into flower.

NIKE, please go read the FAQ and also a book or watch a DVD. You will also need plenty of fresh air intake and exhaust in that closet or you are going to fry your plants and produce an enviornment more for bug infestation than growing.

WELL WHEN SHE DOUBLES IN SIZE DURING FLOWER IT WILL BE 10FT TALL. HOPE YOU HAVE THE HIGHT FOR A PLANT LIKE THAT. YES WHAT BONEMAN SAID PLEASE READ THE GROW FAX.:mrgreen: BUT IF YOU ACTULY HAVE 10FT CELLINGS THEN YOU NO YOU WELL HAVE TO VEG FOT 4 MONTHS TO ACHIVE PLANT HIGHT OF 5FT, SO YOUR TALLKING OF A GROW OF 5MONTHS PLUS. :bigjoint:

im telling u now i run a 600 hps on my plants which are now 5 feet tall and i wouldnt reccomend 400 watt... need more than 600 in some cases to..but what do i know im not through my first grow either but i do notice my plants could use more light even running the 600. they should do fine tho but ur not getting the most u could get is all i am saying.

enjoy ur grow

I don't understand the point of this post? No one indoors is getting the most they can get.... You buy a light for your particular setup a 400w I'd say is perfect for your area a 600w could work maybe a little big and noway with a 1000w. Unless your outside using the sun your not really getting the most you could get, but for the most part the g/w ratios of HID lights scale up accordingly with eachother, and believe it or not the 600w your speaking of is considered to be the most efficient by many in that regard even moreso than 1000w lights.

ok dude it was a question about yield not everyone lives in a sunny place all year round

Checked the dimensions again, I suppose you could make use of a bit larger light in that area but its not completely necessary. The thing is you may want to try training your plants or scgrogging something like that so you can keep the light low and close to your plant because if your serious about wanting to grow them to 5' at that point the 400w wont be able to produce enough light for your lower branches and they will produce the airy fluffy popcorn buds. So either train so your light can penetrate or buy a bigger light that will be able to penetrate.

The sun comment really had little to do with the post was just adding that in. The point was that no-one is getting the most they can get only the most they can get for their situation.

Every person with a 70w HPS is going to be like man I could grow so much better with a 150w, the 150w could grow so much more with a 250w, 250w with a 400w, 400w with a 600w and 600w with a 1000w.

The point is if everyone had the space, budget, means, and security to do so we would all have a room full of 4 1000w lights producing pounds and pounds, but we are all faced with our own limitations whether its space, affordability, or just the price of electricity, so different light setups work for different people but reguardless unless your doing something wrong any wattage will work nearly as efficiently as the next.
