hello mate and welcome to the GC!

I'm not experienced enough to be giving advice yet so cant help you there.
I'm also a UK 1st time grower (check it out its in my sig) and have gone down the 'envirolite' route to save on electricity.
I think if you want some advice from the people with the know-how on here you need to be more specific with your question. How old are your plants? what strain are they? what soil (if soil) are they in? what nutes are you using? etc.
Make it as clear as you can (photos help) and people can then help you to the best they can.
Also have you tried the search button, its fantastic!
Hope i have helpred you in some way, and welcome to 'the GC' hope you enjoy your stay with us

bowl it!

With a single 70W HPS (it is HPS, right?) you are going to need to employ some sort of technique, like ScroG (bowed to match the light pattern), or LST, to keep all the bud sites (one plant max, methinks) within, say, 8" of the lamp. Much further away, and the light will not be intense enough to be a lot of use. If you do it right, you could harvest some nice buds, but a bigger light would be better.

Forget the warm white bulbs (I'm presuming they are regular "incandescent" light bulbs), they are no use.

As I've said elsewhere, I know a guy will deliver you a 400W HPS rig (with lamp) to the UK for around £30. I'm not affiliated; just a happy purchaser. PM me if you're interested.
