250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Hey guys, My 250w reflector has a 12" square area,
I'm basically planning on a 24"-30" square grow area.
Should I really go up to 36" square like the "guys" say I should?

Based on current observations I'm not so comfortable going past 24" really.
Thanks!

36" square would be about the max limit, under that is fine it just limits the number of plants you can have. If you stay at 24" square 2 plants LST'd will fill your cab nicely.. :)

Here are some pics of the clones I had flowering with the BM Grow that I harvested about 2 weeks ago. I put them in the cab with the MM clones (about two weeks ago ;))

I second the 36" max limit as well, I would split the difference @ 30". I don't see a whole lot of space that I waste, I supercrop to help the lower branches. I'm thinking of using uncle bens topping technique for 4 colas, though I'm a little impatient this year and may just go trim to allow more vert. growth on one. I also found that in the 36" space that I like to take the top first and let the lower fillout a bit.
 
Okay guys, dried harvest weight is in on my last harvest: only 1oz & 16 grams.. Which is fine because like I said it was seeded, I didn't know how badly, but the whole bottom half of the plant was seeded & airy :( but on the upside its a very good quality, minus the seeds bud of this quality would go for $250-300 around here, and my last harvest was 3 oz.. Total in this grow I have invested about $700 (rounded-up rough estimate).. I'd say I'm doing pretty good despite my shortcomings, especially considering I am not growing to sell and I never buy in bulk, so I always pay around $300 an oz for the good medical quality stuff.. I quit smoking the mids because its all swag compared to the strains that were bred for perfection. I'm making cannabutter with the 16 grams (lower seedier nugs) and saving the oz to smoke for my efforts :bigjoint:

Woah man those don't look to healthy, no offense.. Also it looks like you have some PM going on in your coco.. Be careful..

Verde.. do you mean the purple midget buds don't look too healthy? It's probably because they have been 12/12 for about 18 weeks (had them at the bottom of the BM grow) I'm just waiting to see if they stretch at all. Since I doubt that they will, I'll probably be clipping them in the next couple days.

I had planned on taking a month or two break from growing, but since these clones survived I figured I'd do a low maint, low expectation grow with them. I'm also not expecting much stretch, the three plants are clones that I kept under a single CFL during the last grow (12 week veg under a 26 watt CFL). I really didn't expect them to make it (tough little bitches ;)).

As far as the PM, I am assuming that you mean mold? There is some salt build up on the hydroton, no mold at all..

Pweh! Glad your on top of that then! Fun little experiment :lol:

and yeah PM= powdery mildew.. Thats what I thought it looked like but dissolved salts makes sense! :peace:
 
Can please somebody help me design grow box.

I have:
old box 50cmx50cmx77cm (19˝x19˝x 30,3˝)
250 hps in cool tube, cooled by 125mm 150 m3/h toilet fan
Pots filled with coco 10cmx10cmx10cm (1 liter)
Ventilation 68 cmh computer fan with carbon filter Le Filtre Fleece 150m3

With this setup I have about 50 cm (20˝) of growing space.

Will it be enough space? WIll it heat too much ?
 
I'd say itll be too much heat, granted your only using a 68cmh computer fan

and id get at least 24x24x 4-5ft for space... youll need 10-12 inches from the bulb to your plants + pot height as it is.
 
Have anyone grown Shiva skunk? Some people say it's 60 day strain, and some say it's 80 days. Both had 20% amber trichs with similar setup. These are my 2 babies at 40 days of 12/12. Sensi says 45-55 days, but I usually add 10 days to what breeder says.kuva.jpg
250hps, biobizz grow, bloom, topmax. 10l pots, 220cfm blower, temps 26,5C...
