im using a built in wardrobe. its 50cm deep and up to the shelf is about 1.8m and about the same width. obviously the 250's light wont spread that far. i try to keep it to 1m width. plus im still using the other half of the cupboard. i had to cut a hole in the wall though. im using 2 120mm pc fans for extraction. without it after 12 hours with the 250 on its 40c/103f in there. i have a 9" desk fan this time around as im doing a scrog and i dont want mold. lost an oz this time due to mold whilst curing, really pissed me off. but like you say its a learning experience, my first run was 4 auto's and i got 44g dried. not a complete failure but i expected more. i was using 330w of various cfls to flower. ive had a real mishap inbetween that and my last grow. i had 2 white widows and 2 big bud autos and my missus got the hump with the noise and took a pair of scissors to the lot. i nearly killed her. last run was better, 1 plant in dwc chopped her early and got 70.9g dried
aiming for at least 5oz this time with 2 in a scrog and one ww clone off to the side. probably gonna make cannabutter with the clone though and smoke the other 2
cheerz man got it loldr, why is the light so far away?
Just copy and paste that image
Or this one...
Damn man that is a tad bit on the warm side haha! I am thinking of using some pc fans for extraction out of my tent. I have a cool tube with a inline fan pushing air through it and back out the tent with lights at 10". I would of been pissed if my girl took scissors to my crop! But I don't see her doing that seeing as she is my growing partner lol.im using a built in wardrobe. its 50cm deep and up to the shelf is about 1.8m and about the same width. obviously the 250's light wont spread that far. i try to keep it to 1m width. plus im still using the other half of the cupboard. i had to cut a hole in the wall though. im using 2 120mm pc fans for extraction. without it after 12 hours with the 250 on its 40c/103f in there. i have a 9" desk fan this time around as im doing a scrog and i dont want mold. lost an oz this time due to mold whilst curing, really pissed me off. but like you say its a learning experience, my first run was 4 auto's and i got 44g dried. not a complete failure but i expected more. i was using 330w of various cfls to flower. ive had a real mishap inbetween that and my last grow. i had 2 white widows and 2 big bud autos and my missus got the hump with the noise and took a pair of scissors to the lot. i nearly killed her. last run was better, 1 plant in dwc chopped her early and got 70.9g dried
The girls do look a little abused. I did MST to keep the terminal buds away from the heat when growing into the bulb. Put them in the dark, last Wednesday, after a final flush. Cropped them this morning (10/22/12) after 11wks of 12/12. Green weight, including stems....2.45lb, from 5 plants. I expect to loose more than 50% after drying and removing the buds from the stems. I will post some phtos later. For as many screw ups as I had, I couldn't be more pleased with the dense nugs produced by the 250 HPS. I thank everyone in the RIU forums and especially the 250 club who offered help and encouragement...many thanks.
