250 wont be overkill ull get faster growing bigger denser buds, but you have to sort out the heat that they pump off

whats a good way to get rid of the heat? my jardin dr40 only has one port for exsoust and 3 velco doors at the bottom you can open and they got screeens on them...

personally never used grow tents, but either put a huge powerful exhaust on it, or if u can cut a new hole for another one wihtout light leaks etc, or even if its possible attatch one at one of these velcro doors?
