Far as I'm aware there is nothing between 250 and 400w sodium lights, not readily available anyway. You could have a double decker 250 set up with supplemental flouros, or one 400/600 with supplemental flouros down the sides.

I wouldn't bother with 70w HIDs, they arn't nearly as efficient as the higher wattages. 600's are the most efficient.

I think that the 400w double decker would work but you would have to have everything perfect. Maybe getting a clone of an indica type plant that you know isn't stretchy.

Bear in mind that with very high light levels there can be issues even if heat is taken care of. Closer than 6" will stress the plants for sure with a 400w.
