250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Hey 250 watters! :bigjoint:

I've been contemplating downgrading the light in one of my closets. I'm currently running a 400watt in there, but temps are getting up to the mid 80s quite easily.

I've attached a shot of the tray for reference.

I would like to know if I can support my current load of 14 lollipopped plants under a 250watt?

FYI - The 400watt is going into the Tent I've just built (in my signature)

are you running 12/12 from seed or clone? or short vegg?
i would do something around that too SOG 12 or more..:leaf:

how much you yielding on the 400w doing that method??
 
Hey guys i need some advice im currently running a 250 hps in a 3 by 3 space , there is nine plants in total 8 of which are in those beer cups alot of people use for cloning. I started my 12/12 cycle planning on getting new pots for the rest of the girls the next day. Long story short i didnt get the new pots and now they are in their 3 week of flowering. will my yeild be greatly reduced? should i still transplant ? i don't want to cause to much stress . the plants are about 2feet tall give or take a couple inchs on some. i can get pics up if you want but they will be cell phone pictures

Hope to see repiles thanks
 
Don't grow in soil and I wanted to state that first but pot size determines root size which determines bud size. They will be smaller than they could me. I would transplant if I could. Good things don't stress plants. Just be gentile. You buy flowering plants from the nursery and take them home and repot and they get healthier with good care. They are probably getting close to the end of their vertical growth and will start to bud up soon.
 
See that little Bubbleheads Avatar to your left? That would mean I grow in hydro. Bubbleponics to be specific. Beer cups = soil to me. I think it's amazing to get 2' tall plants out of a beer cup!

i would transplant them being only 3 weeks flowering especially there in 16 oz cups. they should just be barely going so it may add alot or some growth soo some thing to learn on this one lol i would watch this one like an experiment.. you shouldn't get much stress just be gentle when transplanting.. hope this helps!:leaf:

i know your hydro im saying are you telling him not to grow in soil or you dont grow in soil? the way you start you sentence off confused me haha dont trip.. i understand now your sayng you dont grow in it lolbongsmiliebongsmilie
 
Too late! I'm already tripping but it ain't from you! Just don't want to claim any soil expertise with the plants we are growing. I have so many container plants outside it sickening. I know other plant soil growing stuff but just the basics! In the words of the great William F. Buckley - "I am merely extrapolating" LOL!
 
Check this pic out. I just got done checking on my plants and decided to take a few pics of them. Check out the trichs on them. They look like they was rolled in sugar. bongsmilie They have been flowering since July 13th. The 2 White Rhino are the last of the 10 pack of seeds that i purchased last year. Out of 10 seeds i ended up with 5 females and 5 males. The other little plant is a Hindu Kush. I had 10 of them but have only gotten 2 females out of 8 sofar. I still have 2 more HK seeds but i am more than likely going to just order some feminized White Rhino because they seem to start budding really faster than the others i have tried and they have also finished faster. My last grow, the 3 white rhino finished in 8wks. And i have a feeling that these ones will be done on around Sept. 7th. Hopefully.

Well i am only able to upload one pic right now. I will post more tomorrow.

Tried Hempy a couple of grows back with some bag seed that I liked but I was no good at it and just used it to experiment. Got about 2oz from 2 plants in a 8 gallon planter.

Doing 12/12 from clone - currently working off some bag seed mothers.

My first grow was consumed quickly, but got about 1/4oz dried off each of the last plants (also the smallest pants of the batch). This time around I've only harvested 1 strain (very indica leaning), and got about 1oz dried off each of those 5 pants. :weed:
