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.

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600w I've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w. Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?
