Not an expert here but aren't you supposed to add Co2 when it's above 1000ppfd?

Switching from hps to LED can make them toss nanners yes. I switched to cobs from hps years ago and ran them super close because I didn’t know any better and it was a banana fest in my room the last few weeks of flower.

kinda turned into a hot mess.

why can't you run the led and raise it up if you think the ppfd would be too high?

can you cool the 250 hps any more? cool tube/air cooled reflector?

or buy the led and dim it like you said.
