Looks good man. Talk me through your setup? Lights, tent, fans, odour control etc. also, Have you done any sort of training on her? Like last or topping? Also, what strain is she?

For sure.

On fans, eBay have some good ones around the $50 mark. 6" 246ish cfm I believe.

How far away from the top of your girl is your light atm?

Correct me if I'm wrong. But that's a long way away for a 250? A 600 is about 8-9 inches? I'd try lowering it to 4-5 and just hold your hand under the light for about a minute at the top of your plant. Rule of thumb is that if the back of your hand can take it comfortably, so can your plant. Also, by halving the distance from light to plant, you are more than doubling lumens aswell.
