yeah set it to 250w and you'll be fine.I used to use 400w in a 90x90x180 tent with cooltube,that was good too. but either way you'll need a cooltube reflector. without cooltube, temps hit 33-34C easily.

Theirs a digital dimmer which can be turned down to 250 watt would that be ok is just comes as a full set

I would say it is way too big. A 200 or 250 watt would be more appropriate in my opinion.

Too little lightI have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.6y ago

Apart from recommended distances, can someone point me to how I can establish the correct height and dimming % required based in the grow cycle? Currently at 30% & 55cmSetup. Lighting

Beginner grower questionHi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air.

Mars hydro 600 lights not going fully outHi everyone
I'm having issues with my LED mars hydro 600w when the timer is going to 'off' the lights are still very dim, with the plant being a photo period I'm worried the dimmed lights won't let the plant sleep and shock it or keep it in veg. Has anyone had this issue?Setup. Lighting

72H NON STOP LIGHTI think I'm effed.... When I changed the light cycle 3 days ago, I unwillingly touched the "ON" button (it was on auto prog before) on my timer... I noticed last night that the light was still on.
That means : 72h of nonstop light. What does it mean? what to do? they seem weak

Led on 18/6 grow/flower photoperiodI have the idea to put a led in my second tent for pre growing photoperiod girls, I have some room left over for some autoflowers who also grow & flower on 18/6 light - leds can switch between grow/flower.
If I switch the led to flower will that be OK for my photoperiod girls?Setup. Lighting

LED LightsAnyone used the Phlizon Cree COB 2000w lights?
I’m running two in a 8’x4’ under a scrog net. 5 weeks into veg but nowhere near where they should be. Used only the COBs in veg as some suggested but had to put on full blast today and hope for some speedy growth before I flower themPlant. Too short
