Hey guys how's it going
well my White Russian is 9 1/2 and it's pretty much done maybe
another day or two so tonight at lights out I'm gonna just kill the
timer and keep the lights out for 48 hours.

 

[ace720]

I don't use nothing to hold the plant up so it's just kinda falling all over.

hi all im a current 125 cfl dual spec grower using a budget carboard grow room which measures roughly H 136cm x W 43cms x D 45 cms. ive had some great results pulling over a zipper per auto bean to date.

My question is to all 250 growers, do you need to upgrade your pc fans when you jump from a 125 upto a 250 cfl bulb?to cover any extra heat which a 250 produces?


also i cant find the correct mesurements for bulbs so does anyone know the correct mesurements for a 250 bulb? as i want to see if i can fit it onto my 125 reflector as it claims i can handle upto 400 watt bulbs with it but id rather ask the more knowledgeable fellow growers for there own feedback.

Hi mate,

This is a thread for 250w HPS not CFLs. As far as I know i've never seen a 250w CFL bulb, you should be fine with a 200w CFL bulb in that space. To make sure it will fit in your reflector you need to check the size of the screw fitment. It's probably an E40 or E27 size fitment, it should say somewhere.

Hope this helps

I just had a check an this reflector does have a E40 screw fitting. so if i decided to jump from cfl over to HPS im able to just as soon as Justin Bieber pays me my inheritance to keep claiming that he actually has some kind of real talent.

So yes your post does help muchly so Thanks MorroN!

Remember if you're putting a HPS bulb in that reflector you need a ballast as well. Good luck with your grow man

 

[curiousuk]

Oh im aware i will need to invest in a ballast before i can break into the HPS world. thanks again Morron

the part im curious about is if i upgrade to 250 if my old timers plant magic bloom an grow nutes would work with a 250 HPS. but tomorrow il browse a few of the 250 growers diarys who post on here to get a better idea of the nutes you all use.

Yeah I was looking at that one to but I don't know about anything that REALLY finish in 35 days.
