250 HPS - Will work for my space?

[shtuyos]

Hello, I have a closet 40Cm*60Cm*130Cm (Depth-Wide-Height), with a 250W HPS Grow Light, is this enough for my space? how far the tops of the plants should be from the light? (all the walls of the closet are with reflector material similar to mylar)

thank you.

With only 130cm I think you may run into some heat issues. Do you have a fan to extract the heat? You may consider a LED. You can find the old style Mars-Hydro lights (60x5W) for under $70 on ebay and may well suit your area.

Hello, Thank you, actually the heat was a very big issue at the beggining, it drive me crazy cause i tried a lot of stuff and nothing was seeming to work, until i purchased a "Centrifugal vortex extractor" which replaced a bathroom 240mh/3 extractor, and now im using that bathroom extractor like a fan (very powerfull) just in front of the bulb and my temps are between 26-30 C° and i can put my hand below the bulb for a minute at a distance of 10 - 15 cm and is not burning me or feeling very hot not even hot! so temp is going ok for now... but im in 30 days of flowering and i was wondering if the amount of light is enough or not.

If you have the heat under control that will be more then enough light for that space. You should be good.

How Far should be the tops of the plant from the light?

Also i was wondering if the bud will be fat or will be dense but slim?
im using grotek "Solotek Bloom" and Grotek "Monster Bloom" (0-50-30) and "Bud candy" (Advanced nutrient) similar product from Top Crop named "Top Candy".

I would not go closer then 8-10". If you see yellowing or wilting of the leaves, back off.
