I'm growing 6 plants in a 120cm square tent. I have a 250W MH bulb in a euro reflector about 15 inches above the plants, but the real distance is further than that because of the width of the grow area. Temp during the day (lights are on 24/0) is about 25C / 78F. Growth has been slow, plants are about 20 days old and only just on 3 leaf sets inc cotyledons.
Would I benefit much from switching to a 400W bulb and setting it slightly higher to allow light to hit all the plants more evenly?
Would it increase growth rate?
Would the temp be too much higher?
It will be expensive power wise to do this so I want to be sure I'm doing something beneficial before throwing my $ at it.
