Just got a GL60 250w MH/HPS, Sun System 2 hood, 4" filter, 4" air duct exhaust booster. I am going to go with 3 plants to start off to see how it goes with the heat and room. This is my first time doing a indoor grow so I would like feed back.

I have grown a mother plant out under a 250 with great results. My primary lighting is a dual fixture setup with 400 watts of MH and 600 watts of HPS. Recently moved to an apartment and so I packed the big lighting away. About to flower 3 White Widow clones a friend gave me under the 250 in a stealth grow cabinet. Nothing elaborate. Nice thing about the small lamp is the ease of getting rid of heat. You guys are growing some nice looking plants! Keep up the great work!

I am looking to buy a 250w hps. Most people seem to grow 1 larger plant using this. Would I be able to grow 3 or 4 2 foot plants using a 250w hps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You could do as many plants as you want you just got to keep them at the right size. I have 3 flowered for bout 40 days here:vegged under mh flowering under a hortilux en. 3x23 watt cfls for side light but trust me the 250 did most of the work and I love it! I might start growing 1 or 2 at a time but for now im trying out a few different strains I have and its nice to have two or more strains to choose from when smoking.

I think it was this thread that convinced me to buy a 250 about a year ago lol

I used a 250watt agrosun gold MH and I think I got better results than my 400 hps. I think it was a combo of the light spectrum and it runs cool so I was able to get it really close, 4".
