plants grow at their own rate - the kind of light can certainly determine how healthy and fast a plant grows but I don't think it will mature any faster.

But MH is a great light to use regardless.

they sure can emit an odor when they are little - and i gotta tell ya - if they are stinky now - just imagine when there are big bad ass dripping with gooey resin bud filled plants... with any luck.

a 400w is good for about a 3' x 3' (1m x 1m) space - so if your 50 plants are in that area the answer is yes. supplemental lighting will help greatly however the more lights, the more heat (even CFLs) so you'll need to make sure you can keep things cool enough.

you're welcome - there are lots of helpful (and far more knowledgeable than me) people here - but they are probably like me - if they see someone getting help then they go to the next thread... make sense?

I don't know your grow room situation but i have a relatively small grow box (aprox. 48 cubic feet). I use a 6" centrifugal exhaust fan (440 CFM) and i air-cool my lights with a 4" centrifugal exhaust fans (170 CFM). And two regular oscillating fans (a 6" and a 12"). Now granted i have a 1000w of lights but I had to use an air conditioner in there during the summer to keep the temps below 85 F

my experience has made me more heat sensitive than perhaps i need to be - but i will say - watch your temperatures. Better to run your system a few days without plants so you can take care of any problems before risking seeds/seedlings.
