I am wanting to buy a 250 watt hps light. I have a tent that is 32x32x60. I was wanting to know is the tent too small for that size light? If so what size should my tent be? I am plan on growing just 2 plants in a scrog style grow.

You would be ok with a 250,I would get a dimmable 400 watt in case you ever want to go bigger.

I've put my 200watt dual cfl back in but temps drops down to much for my liking, got a auto D/B and KK,
Auto has plenty of small buds, should be ready by 6/2
