wow! anyone

WOW! how about if you give people time to look at and answer your question.

you posted at 5:14am and then are mad because five hours later no one has answered. not only that, but you can find your answer with a simple google search i'm sure as the area a light can cover is all over the 'net.

or you could even figure it out yourself. you want a MINIMUM of 5000 lumens/sq ft.

i'd say a 2' x 2' max.

good growing!

i'd be leary of that tent. ask them does it contain PVC. and they don't accept returns. i've read at the most a 250 HPS will cover a 3' x 3'. i don't think the 250 HPS will push enough light to the edges. so either you can supplement the 250 or you can just put plants under the "solid" footprint of the light and keep them away from the edges.
