how much of a noticable difference is there between a 250 watt hps and a 400 watter? yield wise?....power bill wise? heat wise?...anything you could give me would be appreciated.

about 20,000 lumen difference....not much of a heat difference. i've gone from a 250 to a 400hps recently and my temps are about the same...mid to low 80's. maybe 3-4 bucks to 7-10 per month.

well my main question is my space is only a 3' x 2' closet, is it worth the upgrade? yield wise or should i just stick with the 250?

well ive got one big girl about 3 1/2 feet tall and thats all i can fit in my closet. next time ill do 2 or 3 with a way shorter veg time so they dont get a tall. how much more of a yield would i see if i grew the exact same plant with a 400 compared to my 250 i have now? im just trying to get a general idea if its really worth the upgarde.
