250w HPS Club And Help Guide

[Grazzmon]

I have a ton of these shoots but as you can see by the color they are too deep to get enough light but they are still flowering. If the fan leaves are producers then these must be users.. so, should I take some of them off? Maybe put them in the cloner or just dry and qwiso them..

I have a quick question for y'all 250w users. Its time I get a new hps bulb, so what brand is the best with the highest lumins? Any advice would be great. Thanks

Advertised wise, Growbright has 35k lumens, Argomax 32k, and Eye Hortilux at 30k.

I'm using an Argomax this grow, which has been good so far. Prior to that I was using a standard HPS, which was also great. I'm not the biggest fan of Growbright gear, yeah.... that's just me though.

Anything that is green is creating/eating energy. If anything the plant is using the food from the yellowing leaves to feed itself. You're fine, you worry too much Grazz lol. What the plant is doing is redirecting energy/food right now, less stress than hacking at her in flower. Just my 2 cents.

I wouldn't do Qwiso with that dude, no real substance in the trichomes yet aka waste of time. The point of oils is to extract oils from the head of the trichome. If you have all clear trichomes with no THC/Milky or CBD/Amber you're not going to really yield anything at all.

Hey all, Got a few pics for yall of my Pineapple Expresss she is on day 8 of 12/12 and im pretty sure shes done with her stretch, and im glad for that without the scrog net this plant would have gotten wayyyy to big. She was Re-vegged for 6 weeks so if the branch structure looks funny thats why.

Shes getting FF big bloom, tiger bloom, superthrive, molasses in the next feeding.
Roots soil
RO water
shes drinking about 1 gallon every 2 days or so.

Enjoy all

GG

Hey guys, I've been wondering why it is that you all grow and use marijuana.

Personally, I simply enjoy the stuff and it makes getting to sleep at night quite easy. I grow for the experience and skills; secondarily, I grow my own in order to minimize my interaction with drug dealers and the larger clandestine organizations through which they loosely operate. That's it in a nutshell, but I was just curious as to what drew you guys in, be it medical, recreational, or (hopefully not) criminal.

Joos.. mostly I do it for the challenge, I also agree with the enjoyment and minimizing interaction.. unfortunately for many of us it may be criminal.

I grow to smoke recreationally. I think it's a much better and safer alternative to alcohol. The weed here is incredibly shitty so growing gives me access to great marijuana and keeps me from having to interact with the black market.

Unfortunately, by virtue of the plant, I break the law on a regular basis. But, the law is stupid. So, I will continue to violate the prohibition until my government pulls their head out of their ass and legalizes this plant that has been used for centuries without government approval or involvement.

Great question.

I grow for therapy, no pill on earth can calm me the way my plant does and I smoke so that I eat, so I don't feel head pain as intensely and a host of other reasons. Generally I find it a much safer alternative for managing my medical issues.

Whats the dimensions of the box or area your growing in? What size pots?

Congrats on the harvest nature, looks delicious

BTW I ordered a 600 but I'm helping a friend switch over from cfl's to the 250 so I'll still be hanging around and updating with some pics from there grow in the future!

 

[spike91]

i think 5 plant in 5 pot of 10 L , and the area will be something like 70 CM X 70 CM

 

[Grazzmon]

Man.. there are some nice grows going on here!! Here are some pics of the tops of my girls. The Blue Mystic tops are much different than the Mutants tops.

Mutant..


Blue Mystic



I guess I can expect different tastes and buzz's from this grow.. I'm also expecting that they will have different finishing times..

Hey everyone, just wanted to show my progress with the 250 watt HPS. I was originally going to go with a LED but decided to go with an 250 HPS and I couldn't be happier.

Here are some pics, I just switched it over to 12/12 today
