My grow box spec's

size 40x24x53 inchs

light 250w htg hps/mh set up

exhaust fan 8" inline 240 to 500 cfm set on 240cfm

attic space thermostat set on 78 f

small fan inside circulating air

exhaust fan and attic thermostat keep box at 78f fan turns on for five min every 1/2 hour or so.....

I think the light has plenty of lumens for the six plants im growing the shiney bubble wrap helps

they have three way meters for soil, water/light/ph the meter uses photosynthesis to detect light. every where in my box had a good reading.

I also made the box light tight so i could flower with it too. zero light when in the night cycle

PLANTS
LEFT> GOLDEN GOAT:leaf:
MIDDLE> NORTHEN LIGHTS/HAZE:leaf:
RIGHT> SOUR DIESEL:leaf:
Thats nicely put together... real tidy...:bigjoint:

Just Harvested My Blue Cheese Grow(3 plants 2 lst and one straight up) that i've been posting on over last month or so(around page 299)...did the harvest yesterday and had 320 grams wet..so i'm thinking around 105 grams dried (1/3 of wet weight) what do you guys think.. thats about right??..I ussually get a 1/3 or 33%...maybe a little less there is some stem to trim once completley dry..I always do this every time I harvest its like guessing a baby's weight lol!!! a couple times I only lost half the weight..different strain though(Pot of Gold)..sorry no pics yet hope to have them up soon..

Am I eligible to join even though I have a 250mh ballast with a 220w hps conversion?heh I am currently doing a few plants in a 2x4x5 tent. 1st pics is when I set it all up and 2 nd is from yesterday. I am keeping the light about 6 inches from the top now. I am currently growing 2 short ryders. One is in an aerogarden(12/12 from seed) and the other is in soil which I over watered. I also just started a northern light by nirvana which is 12/12 also.

What would everyone recommend for the most plants or square footage under a 250w light? I think I am getting a little grow happy and may have germinated 2 more seeds which will bring me to a total of 5. I am guessing some males may pop up because only 1 is female so far and these seeds are not fems.

i would say 1-4 nice sized for best light penetration.. i like to go with usually 4 plants in 1 or 2 gallon pots get me decent yield close to oz a plant thought you can run 1 plant 5 gallon and get probably just as much as i would running multiples but im a strain whore so gots to have a couple more in there.. i think my SOG would be awesome for some reason thought thas me i like clone to flower get some fatty single cola buds!! run like 9-12 plants in 1/2 or 1 gallons pots im sure that would be interesting..been thinking about that one for awhile but im think of bumping up my wattage now do to breeding! or just a bunch of 250w rooms...Great light lots of people over looked..

the homie MINDMELTED got i think he said 17oz? under a 250w hps in DWC with 2 extra 60watt cfl's on the side im not exactly sure what he ran but he sure did show us that light can pump a pound.. even with the added light fck it!! more the merrier but remmber! this is all in my opinion! growers really have there own way o doing things everyone will tell you different things find what you like but research it to make sure it works!

stay real

Does anyone know if you can use the HPS bulbs they sell at home depot for about 20-somthing bucks?? (I think it was a 250)

standard hps go for about that much Zep. I use a hortilux super hps cus its got a bit more light and blue spectrum. But its about 80 bucks. I never saw a 250 hps at hardware stores myself. Ive noticed 150's.
