i have a 250w hps in a 2x3x6 area with 6 plants...temps are mid 80s with a box fan blowing air out on setting 2....i'm thinkin of putting a 400w in with 2 fans. I also have co2 going....

i agree with the above, a 400w with some fans to cool the plants down to the right temp. maybe a bucket of water or a humidifier in there with some co2

yeah. i have a 250 in a space 2x4x8 and i only get a good 2.5 wide area of good grow. was thinking about getting a 400 but might just get another 250. i would defintely go with the 400 if i were you
