i would say with 100w - 250w of CFL's would be great for your mom just grab 4-42w bulbs im sure that will keep your mom content.. just trim her every once in a while.. i kept 4 plants under 250w of CFL's they all did great..

build a box for her if you have too.. hope this helps ya just keep posting your questions if i dont someone else will answer your question..

Pretty much what Wretched420 said is the way to do it :clap:

Above will be fine

Wretched420 · Mar 23, 2009

Yeah i'm not sure how its gonna be with the 250w'er in there. Its high 60's when the lights are on and about 60 when they are off right now with 5 cfl's in there and i dont have a fan going or anything so hopefully with the 250w and a fan i'll be fine.

Sup Wretched and the rest of the club, I'm back.

Sorry about the weight not being posted.... got a lil impatient and smoked some so the actual weight would have been really.... uh off lol.

Anyhow I have a new grow with a Twin plant this time around. They're brand new not even a week old.

This time around though I WILL have the exact weight on my digi when I harvest. Had to buy a new one last time and well couldn't wait lol.

Got 3 Black Doms and 1 Blue Madness going.

Woman** lol, plants are baby babies, they're still seedlings.

Check my grow journal, the link's at the bottom of my signature. There's pictures in there, I don't wanna spam RIU with a bunch of the same pics lol. They'll be a week old this Thursday coming up.

Nice to see ya again too Wretched, you've made a damn great success of this club here, great job :bigjoint:

if your temps are in the high 60's you are fine a couple more lights wouldn't hurt either.. im dealing with 80 degree temps i have 2-42w 1-105 2-27... i think i need new bulbs they didnt put this much heat out my last grows...

Whats up 250ers

Dark Hobo · Mar 23, 2009

Hey whats up everybody, let me join you guys. I got a 250 hps (lumateck ballast) in a 2'6" w x 1' d x 5'6" t. I got some fem seeds from nirvana, germed 3, one of which never cracked.

The other two sprouted and did well until 2 weeks into veg the I started to get some stem fungus :cry:

. I treated it with Safer Antifungal stuff and it stopped on one plant but I ended up taken down the other. :twisted:

So now I'm in week 3 of flower, I was hoping to do my first SCOG but now I just got one lady. Anyways I'm using Cutting Edge line of nutrients, with Liquid Karma, Liquid Gold, and MOAB. :bigjoint:

Somebody was saying another prunning method LT or LS er something, what's that? Anyways check my pics I couldn't transfer all my pics but here are a couple. I think there's one Northern Bright (the big solo plant), and a couple pics from my previous batch which was Purple Kush (very yummy/low yield) its under both 250 hps and AeroGarden CFL's.

Dark Hobo · Mar 23, 2009

Oh yeah I forgot one thing my Lumatek, I used it with a GE MH bulb and after a week it wouldn't fire the bulb it just kinda flickered. I took the bulb to the hydro store and dude told me Lumatek has been havin issues with 250 and 400 when using MH. Anybody else have this issue I'm kinda pissed about it!

L.S.T (Low Stress Training) very similar to SCROG heres a couple links to explain it https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=169 https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=685 pretty much keeps all your taller branches the same height as the lowers ones for a even top canopy . . your plants have nice fatty stocks looking good keep us posted

What kind of yields are people getting from there 250 watters??

kellythefoot · Mar 24, 2009

Bagseed grows are the shit. I have smoked some really dank budz from bagseed grows. I even have a friend that mothered a plant they came from bagseed. He still grows it to this day.
