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.

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

Temperature VS More Light which is better for buds size and potency
Should I continue to use two LEDS if temps are reaching 87f during flower (day 1) or just move plants more towards center of tent and use one LED for better temperatures (75f) (only growing two plants). lights are 1000w bestiva and are in a tent that is 24"x48"60".

How to grow Jack Herer and Power Plant strains
Hey growmies, I’ve started two Jack Herer fems and a Power Plant fem on my 3-D’s diary. I’ve read JH can be a mofo and should be grown on a 12/12 light cycle from seed. I read the same for PP also. Is this true???? I’m trying to maximize yield. Thoughts please… 🤯

Temporary 24 hours darkness, equipment issue.
My light ballest has broken tonight, my lights will have been off for 24hours by the time I can replace, the plants are about 2 weeks from harvest, would it damage the plants to start the light cycle (18 on 6 off) tomorrow after having the light off for 24 hours?

Small light/ big tent
I just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!
