Keep it simple, just lower the lights to 35cm. 480W is not too much for the room

Light power
Is a 100-watt lamp sufficient? I don't consume much, so I opted for a modest light, anticipating lower yields. Can the quality match that of weed grown under a stronger light(600watt), despite producing fewer grams overall?

Lowering light
Should I lower my lights and decrease the intensity to get better penetration or keep them the same height and increase intensity? (These are auto flowers about 50 days old getting towards the end of flower)

600w hps
Wouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?
