Honestly I'm on sure with less just make sure its the blue light emitting. And I would def go into real bulbs cfm or mh/hps. And for 250 think of it as for every 10 watts is 1 sqaure foot. So id prolly start of with 10 directly under. About 12-16 inches away from light. I got seeds from hermed out weed so 14 out of 16 were trashed because they were going to be males. Metal halide for veg hps for flower is the best but cost most in electric and money wise. And during flower it Emmitt a red light.

Definitely. But I restrict them height wise 3 gallon pots and learn how to Supercross or top plants by low or high stress techniques.

Also during germination only use distilled water. Also ph test all your water I recommend buying a garden hose filter ph test it make sure its 5.9-6.7. Every county water is treated differently but adding certain nutrients will lower and raise the ph level

I also mix in 1/4 cup of aloe vera powder into a 2 gallons worth of my feeding mixture. Clonex during germ and seedling. I only spray it during germ with a low pressure mist bottle. Veg I use silica superkelp and aloe vera. I usually deliver it a little more in the begging of the life stages. Last 2 weeks of flower and first 3 of flower I use budcharge than. Also ph and ppm meter will help you not burn your plants with a high oh nutrient uptake

Than I add regular water. Ppm range is under 200-400 seedling more under 3 early veg 300-600 late 600-1000 i usually stay in the 700s late because I don't want to burn. Also clipping the bottom leaves and branches will help your growth just dont over do it.

It's pretty easy any leaves that are turning yellow like its burning than cut you don't want to plant wasting time on something thats damaged. Plus when it start to get super bushy the fan leaves block light so take only what you need off until your about to hit flower. Than trim everything from the 4 or 5 node down. Look up topping fimming tie down method and 90° bend
