if you can control your heat i would say go for it!!! i would get a 250w and see how the heat is with all of them on before you start growing but more light always helppretty interesting grows you guys have! im thinking about getting a 250 for my 2.5x2.5 area with maybe 2 added 70w hps' alongside the 250. currently using the 2 70w's on my white widow so i might as well use them with a 250...good idea? or not?
Interesting setup Tom your room size sounds to be about exactly the specs of mine to the measurement. Also looks like you picked up the HTG 250W kit which I did as well. Right now I am working on getting my ventilation setup I have already built an aeroponic kit for this closet grow, I have been having a lot of fun putting this room together. I will be keeping tabs on your grows as it offers me a bit of insight...Hello 250 watt club! I use the HTG Supply 250 watt HPS system in a Euro Reflector. My last grow I used the HPS bulb but I fried it because (90% sure) of a hot start on my ballast. So this grow I am using an AgroMax high output MH conversion bulb. I cool the hood with a 6 inch duct booster fan from homedepot that cost me $28. I also have three computer fans for intake and a 6 inch desk fan to blow across the tops of the plant. My grow box is 3' 5" tall, 2' wide, and 1' 2.5" deep. I am growing (under 12/12 lighting) one large female plant and a seedling whose sex is unknown. The temps are 76-82 degrees fahrenheit during the day and 70-65 during the night. The humidity stays around 20-30% almost all the time. Here's two pics of how I'm using my 250 watt. If you wanna see more pics just go to my journal by clicking on the link in my signature. I hope you all enjoy!

That's fine with me man, if you got any questions you can post in my journal or shoot me a pm. The only difference seems to be that I am growing in soil. I have a DWC unit set up so once I determine the sex of my new seedlings I will cut a clone off a female and give DWC a try.

i actually thought about running some 70w on the side 's i think that would be great just as long as your circulation is well.. but with just a 250 those lower buds will be airyill try to get better at growing then i'll give scrog a shot, seems well worth it. so pretty much if u do a sativa dominant plant the lower buds arent gonna be as dense? the 70's dont put off much heat i had one right on top of my white widow but with no ventilation on the light or the top of the plant and after 2 weeks like that it just recently started getting a little burnt, it was about an 1" or 2 away from the top of the cola so maybe i can use the 70's enclosed with ventilation as side lighting maybe...
right on!! is your ballast switchable?Just got done building a small room for my 250W I have a MH and HPS bulb. I am building ventilation into my hood and running one main fan prolly 80CFM will be running it to check temps. I am running this with a hydroponic system...most likely shooting for some white strains widow and G13 along with some others...
heloooo how can i get membership in this club?? heheheee...
It should be fine for both bulbs thats what it was sold as....htgsupply.comright on!! is your ballast switchable?
