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.

Need opinions on my setup, I'm running a ViparSpectra P2000 true 200 watt and XS1000 true 120 watt, I have 2 Glueberry Og Auto's going, week 3 of flowering, I don't have issues w heat or humidity at the moment, is this overkill with the lights or should it be good?

A cuanto % de potencia pongo el led en crecimiento y en floración led 650w
I'm using the Marsh Hydro FC E6500 650W in a 1.50x1.50 closet with 27 plants. Does anyone know if putting the LED at 40% power is okay for the second week of growth? Should I gradually increase it? Until I reach 100%? Please, I can't find any information on this topic online. THANKS

Do I need to lower my lights?
Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

Lower lighting at switch to 12/12?
Do you typically want to lower your lighting when you switch to 12/12? I'm a little confused about what is meant when they say to have a 12" light distance for flowering and 18" for veg. Does that mean lower to 12" at the switch to 12/12, or just maintain a min 12" distance?

couple quick questions
Do I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights? Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time? should I ever have the exaust fan off?

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLI
lux, ppfd, and dli. While doing this, I realized that it’s hard to have a ppfd between 500 and 1000 for the seedling phase without exceeding the famous 7000 lux. We’re more like approaching 25000 lux if we want to reach the desired ppfd for this phase. How do you do it?
