I now run 2- 70watt hps and a 125 watt hps in a box that is 2feet wide x 3 feet long x 4high . The light are in there little chamber made of glass and the heat of lamps is sucked out and never in the plants room. I have about twenty girls living in there .My question is should I change the light to a 400 watt or even a 1000 watt light or will that be to much light? will this make the buds on plant fuller .

For 20 plants I would go with the 1000watt hps if you can afford it. The 400watt hps is only good for about 12 plants but 1000 would grow 20 plants.

What are you gonna do when they get bigger? Your space will not be big enough to take 20 plants to harvest. You need about a square foot per plant. I don't think you could even fit a 1000 watt inside that box.

Stick with what you got..or if it will fit go for the 400.
IMHO

Hello there,

1000 watts qill generate way too much heat and the light density for the area you have described is way too intense, even with a 400wt you will have a lot of heat& light. Chlorophyll oxidization (bleaching) will ocurr if a 1000watt is used, even with a 400 its too much light. What you have at present is optimum for your area.
