Hey how you doin thanx for setting up this thread its helpin me out alot so far. I got the 250 watt Met Halide bulb, the plants are about 3 weeks old in there veg state. Im trying to find the best distance to put the light from the plants without burning them to get maximum bud production, I have them at 30" away right now. what would you think, and if i leave the girls in the metal halide bulb during flowering what will happen?? .
Also if you know of any PROVEN way to sugnificantly increase tch output and buds please let me know..

 

[Resinator420]

i am trying to find any PROVEN ways of producing more tch or larger buds. I have heard alot of things that really DO NOT WORK. my babys are about three weeks into veg and 10 inches tall. is it ok to trim leaves that are blocking potential bud spots.

I think that is too far.

I would bring the light down to about 10-16 inches from the center tops and put a light breeze on them. maybe closer, maybe less, depending on the room temps, ventilation, and your circulating fans intensity.

depends on how hot it is to the tops of your buds.. 30" is too far the light intensity is prolly very low to most parts of your plants a 250 should be around 6 - 18 inches from the tops...with some good air flow
..
Flowering with a metal halide will give you more THC but lower yield.
although you can buy a 3000k metal halide bulb which will give you more red good for flowering.. but from what i heard flowering with MH's work great

are mh truely better then hps?

 

[Wretched420]

HPS will give you bigger more dense buds.. but you still can get dense buds with a mh.. it all depends on the user.. i would go for a dual of HPS and MH .. my next run i think i might use 1 250w MH with a 250wHPS..will see

is that just 1 plant.. if so she is a beautiful beast

haha yes its just one big ass momma!
i started off with 4 growing but that 1 just went crazy, luckly it was a girl unlike the others, i put it in the flowering room at 3ft and within 19 days it was 6ft lol
had to do a bit of bending to stop it touchin the light but its doin well.

my buds are lookin nice n big but i cant still see thru them a bit?
is that just due to my light being only 250watt?
other plants ive seen on here there buds look a lot more compact and jucie lol

 

[Wretched420]

yea depending on your strain you might get airy buds.. i have 2 different strains growing under a 250 and 1 pheno you can see through certain parts of the buds .. but another strain i have has hard compact buds so it depends on the strain.. with a 250 you can get dense buds but no as dense as you would prolly want..
