The dimmable lumatek 400w will run at 250w or 400w. Not too much more expensive maye $30 U.S. more.

Like 200-350 is optimal for that tent, unless you have some strange conditions. I'm assuming you just mean circulating air through a tent.
I had a 6 inch max fan (330 cfm). It had a speed controller built onto the unit. I mostly ran it at the second setting but it was nice to have an option to crank it up.

^Thank you,
Here's what I've been up to These 2 girls are white widow clones (previous harvest over 4oz). Not exactly sure when I flipped them... I figure there somewhere in 5th week or so. How long do you guys think till harvest more or less?

Ok so its been some where around 90 total days from sprout out of dirt to now it was a sativa so I knew it would take some time what do you guys think time to chop them down?
One had to herm on me because there are a few seed spots that I can see but not many and they are full on seeds.
Now I have been told that "they will be fem seeds because they are from a herm" but i don't believe that I thought it had to have chemicals pored on it for that to be the case.
Going to sprout some other seeds tonight got a strand called ez free and BMW never heard of them but oh well the guy that i got them from said they will be females so yea!!! and they where free so awesome!!!
This guy that my buddy knows use to grow in CO but they said he had to stop because he was a federal con and he could not keep doing that so he moved back to KC and he gave me a few seed such a nice guy...
Anyway tells me what you all think...
Think I'm going to take some better pictures...

Just flipped it a couple weeks ago. A bit unruley, my first foray into a bit of light bondage. (lst)

Looks good psycho. She has a ways to go by the looks of her though, at least a couple weeks.

When the money situation improves, I'm planning on upgrading to a 250 watt light (currently using 150 watt). Where would you all recommend buying a 250 watt light from?

Online like amazon is usually the cheapest. There are a few good brands out there, just depends on what your looking for and how much you want to spend. I personally like digital ballasts but many people swear magnetic ballasts are better. It's all preference, but digitals run cooler. Check HTG suppy, HiD Hut and amazon and see what will work for you. BTW I use a Lumatek, but I have heard great things about Galaxy too.
