stay with the fluorescent for now for energy aspects. but is this doesn't concern you then i say go with the HPS

Just pay real close attention to the temperature at the plant level

Put it under the big light. The hps will kick it into high gear. Make sure the light isnt too close. Also, use a small oscillating fan to strengthen the stem. Good luck!!

You'll get a bigger girl with the 400w, but I would wait one more week, let her get a bit stronger before you put her under there.

Yep sounds good, watch her close at first - if she shows any signs of heat stress (might wanna google this if you aren't sure) then move it up further. If she looks good you can also try slowly lowering it, but no closer than 12".
