250w HPS Club And Help Guide

howdybongsmilie , i got a cabinet thats 3 1/2ft high 2 1/2ft wide and 2 ft deep that im going to be growing in with a 250 watt hps,i will be doing a scrog grow due to height restrictions,for ventillation i will have 2 120mm hydroponic fans 1 on each side on top of the grow box to exaust hot air out,for in take fresh air i will have 2 30cm holes on front bottom of door with vents on them both,i will have a desk fan blowing between tips of plants and light,the 1 or 2 plants will be in a autopot system it has a 45ltr tub and 2 25cm pots,it automatically feeds plants when medium dries out, the growbox will be in my room where plenty of fresh air flows thru,and i got a air con to in my room, i will most likely have a mother plant under cfls in anotha closet on bottom shelf and root clones up the top, ok now a few questions,:eyesmoke: would would i be better off just doing the 1 plant and filling the screen under the 250watt in grow box with my space? how big should my screen be? the whole length of box?if i was to do the 1 plant would i get just as much of a yield as doing 2/ does the autopot sound ok will it be good for weed?look up www.newagehydro and look at their hydro kits autopots. does my ventillation sound ok? will 1 42 watt on top and a couple of 24watt cfls keep mother alive? hope some 1 can answer just a few of many questions i need answered,i got more questions but not enuf time i goota bail thanks in advanced:leaf:
 
Sup everybody, hope everyone is toasted lol. I'm not new to RIU post a couple of places but I just found this thread and its great that there's one just for us 250w guys(and gals) check out my thread it has all the specs of my grow. Here are some of my pics taken about midway into my first week of flowering. The plant reffered to as herm was a hermaphrodite and it has gone to a better place(my trash) Looking foward to a great harvest!!!!!!!!

Mind melted... i know you got good results from your plants but for a newbie like me so you think i would be able to get an ounce per plant dried off a 250w?
 
Some updated shots of the girls - harvested the first one yesterday...

Biobizz organic nutes (red and green bottle) - used at half concentration every other watering during flowering.

added some lemon skunk to the veg room the other day as well.

also i have noticed when the lights go off you get a very floral smell even with the carbon filter on but it only lasts a short while... does anyone know why this is - do the plants start to use the saved light energy straight away?
 
does anyone know whats wrong with my hawaiian snow. the mother i got it from was doing this but my boi has been to control it with a range of things all the leaves are starting to die more rapidly i just flushed with 9 gal of water i think the bag it is in is a 3 gal (cant remem wich 1 i chose at hydro store)help me. i have a pedigree that is dying

Great job Mindmelted... is it better to use a combination of fluoros and hps then to get better results during flowering?... you seem to have a lot of experience behind you... whats in the several small pots at the bottom of the tent?

My lemon skunk have been vegging for a week now... how long shoud i leave them in these small pots before transplanting?

I added the cfls because the plant got so big.But you will have some better results with added lights.The small pots are actually damp rid to help with humidity levels.
 
Man you guys have got some good grows going on with freakin huge buds!! What am i doing wrong... i thought i was doing ok til i saw some of the photos. My temp and humidity levels are fine (~75F and 55%), dont know about pH tho as i dont have anything to check it with. Are you using CO2 as well? My plan is to get 5 plants into my small cupboard under that 250w - looking at the size of your AJ id be lucky to cram one of them in!!!

No C02,are you flowering yet.If you are 55% humidity is a bit high,if not your are fine.A Ph meter is a must,i have 2 a cheap handheld and a continuous monitor one.
Looks like you are growing in soil.Hydro has a better growth rate than soil,but soil grown bud has a better taste(That is what most people say)My last 2 batches tasted and smoked great.I think ph in soil should be around 6.5!!!!
 
I never realised you were growing hydro mindmelted... the results are certainly there to be seen as per your pics - i never knew one plant could get so freakin huge!! Yeah im a 1st timer with HPS and im growing in soil... just want the big buds like everyone else

What humidity should i be aiming for in my flowering room... i am in week 6 of flowering at the moment.
