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.

Know any sponsors for influencer growers?
Does anyone know of any companies that sponsor led lights or a company that sponsors nutrients? I also have a you tube channel I grow cannabis on and do reviews.

direct HOT sunlight on week one?
Should I put her under direct sunlight? Temperature here reaches 32°C-89°F and it's not so windy, Im scared it could burn the tiny plant, I have been keeping both plants under a white mosquito net that makes the light less hot and they get some direct light untill 10 am (see pic)

Should I lower my light during flowering?
I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.

Is this a sign of too much light?
I’m noticing the leaves grow extremely close to each other, should I be concerned at this stage, should I pull the light higher back? This is day 3 of week 2, I’m feeding it full advanced nutrients line up for veg. And drying out for a day and a half between waterings
