Veg chamber?
I would think 250 for veg is overkill because of the fact that I kept a couple of mothers alive with much less light in fluorescents.
So, it isn't "overkill", but... you can do it with less. (the veg state for mothers)
But hey, 250 sounds great!
RE: Flowering OverKill
Bullshit, IMHO.
Look, I had a cab that was 20inches deep, by 40 inches wide.
It worked out to something along 5.5 square feet.
Fine, in those 5.5 sq.ft., I had 1,000 watts. 400MH and 600HPS inside a cool tube.
That works out to aprox 182 watts/sq.ft.
Taking the biggest possible measurement for your cab, its base's area is:::
6ft x 5ft = 30 sq.ft.
And having 400HPS, that would work out into:::
13.3 watts/sq.ft.
Your experienced grower friend... well... I don't think he's growing Cannabis Cup winning buds there. No insult intended.

Hope this helps man....
The only time I've ever heard an experienced grower say "too much light" is Zandor refering to the use of a freaking 2,000 watt HID system for growing.
I believe he said it'll "wash out" the plants. I might be wrong. As usual. :stoned:
Anyways, hope this helps.
Overkill?
Nope.
Myth Busted.
Happy growing!
