2x4 closet need a new setup any ideas for best yeald with a 250 watt hps

Im currently using 5 gallon buckets dwc nonrecirculating in a scrog and cant get the 2 in the scrog out to change the rez i think this is putting a hurt on my buds they seem puny and dont smell when ya pinch them any ideas on the best set up for a 4x2x5? have been thinkin about several 1x2 ebb and flows trays 2 plants in each +rep for advice

wow no replies oh well did a lot of research and came up with ebb and flow (for ease of moving plants around in a tight place) with a scrog set up. I like the scrog a lot trying to master it am 3 weeks from harvest on my first scrog set up using dwc. Only have a 250 hps with a 4 watt floro side lighting on my runt bubba kush that started my 1st journal with her clones check it out in my sig

250w would cover 2x2.5 or so. would require a 400 for a 4x2 to get big buds

was thinkin about getting a150 hps to add to it found one for 49.95 shipping included all it needs is a power cord but i have those laying around will upgrade to a larger space and a 1000 watt eventually but funds are tight atm figured 29 dollars for a 150 watt plus shipping would be ok for the moment + rep for the info

was runnin a 250 in 2x2 and it was fine. one 250 in a 2x4 is not enough. i just set up a 2x4 and tried 2- 250 was a little tight side by side but got both my lights on c-list with only a couple cycles for 30 bucks each. id consider this option or try to find a 400 cheap

adding a 150 is ok but small lights are less efficient than big ones that is your 150+250 will give out less lumens more heat than a single 400w. IMO buy a 400 now and keep the 250 for vegging or shrink your flower area a bit stick with the 250w and save up for a 400 aircooled... jmo
