I went from basically PC's to 250 watt HQI's and because I couldn't raise the lights, what I did was an on/off routine as recommended by Eric Borneman.
The way I did this was one hour on.. one hour off and keep repeating for a 10 to 12 hour photoperiod. Then, after 5 days, change it to 1 hour 15 min on and 45 min off. After another 5 days, go 1.5 hour on, 1/2 hour off. And after another 5 days, 1 hour 45 min on, 15 min off and finally after 5 days go on all day. I never bleached anything using this method.
