will a 250w light be good enough for my plants for flowering? or is it a must to get say a 600w light also my plants are in a tent so a 600w would burn them I would think... :O

Ya how large is your tent? Also I would get a vented 600w. I am running one and it is a huge difference compared to my 250W HPS. I am growing in closet though as I have not got a tent yet. I would not get a 600 unless it was in a vented hood though. If your trying to get 1/4lb autos the 600 is a good choice. Also my buds are denser under my 600 compared to my 250. My 250 is not vented though. I keep a fan pointed at the light to cool it which dose pretty well but my vented hood for my 600 is way better as I can just direct the unwanted heat were I want it to go. You know you could also step up to a 400 instead of a 600. I feel 400 is were you start to get some good bud density. The 250 dose ok but the 600 has denser buds and a 400 will too.
 
my tent is a metre width & all around and about 5ft 5 high lol sorry crap with explaining stuff
 
also after since my plants are 3 weeks now how much water should they be getting along with veg nutes? and when should i switch to flowering nutes?
 
I grow organic so I can't tell ya. When I was using bottled nuted and if the pot I started in was around 1/2 gallon or larger I usually fed at week 3, around the time the first pre flower. I water by weight tell I transplant. To a large pot. You will get a feel for it. Once in the large pot I usually let soil dry tell top 1/2" of soil is dry.
 
They way I have started growing I have cut out the need for veg nutes. I have no need for them any more.
