Beautiful, and you mentioned harassment and trolling? This is new news to me. I'm not quite sure how trolls can get past mods/admins but I'm here now and barring any flare ups of my brain fartage, I plan on being here for quite awhile.

From the depths of hell, I say your name, I call upon all that's lame.

I bring the dead and forgotten back, Hey @racerboy71 I've got some snacks!

Now get your ass in here, I know you have a 250 kicking around somewhere.

Hello everyone. New to RIU and would love to join the 250w club!
On my second grow, 2 weeks into flower.
I'm on the lookout for strains that produce really nice dense buds under a 250w HPS, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Check out any of the strains from breeders boutique's Dog you won't be disappointed I would suggest topping the living hell out of it. And a lot of bending and pinching because your light won't penetrate very deep. So you want a wide plant with lots of tops

Cheers Enwhysea, not heard of Breeders Boutique before but just had a quick butchers on their site and looks pretty decent!
My first grow was Trainwreck and harvested 7.5 ounces, which I was well happy with but a lot of the bud was airy and not very dense other than the main tops. I topped 3 times and LST'd like mad but it stretched like a bastard when I switched to 12/12.
This time round I'm growing Hash Bomb by Bomb Seeds, with it being Indica dominant I'm hoping for denser buds. I've topped twice and LST'd it and it's nice and bushy! Also left the 250w metal halide on 10 days into flower to keep the stretch down which has done the trick!
I will be starting a grow journal once I become a proper member and am able to do so for anyone that would like to tag along!

Joined this site because I have recieved a lot of information from it, which I am so grateful for and wanted to share my knowledge aswell. But in order to post a grow journal I need to recieve likes, 3 people have viewed the last photo I put up, yet no likes. 4 fucking days in and I still can't do a fucking grow journal. Yet when you go to look at a grow journal that you would really like to view, it's by some dick that never finishes the fucking thing.

Where's all the 250w growers?

Hope that helped youre better off making a thread for your grow instead of a journal in my opinion and I started with a 250 and moved onto bigger things.

Cheers mate, that has done the trick! Spat dummy out a bit there but it was doing me head in lol
The 250 is great for me, gives me more than enough for the amount I use. But i would rather have quality than quantity, so I'm going to see how this grow goes and maybe get something bigger in the future. And nice grow mate, what strains ya got and how many plants are in there?

Such a shame this thread is dead! It's threads like this that encouraged me! If anyone out there is unsure whether or not to use a 250, check out my grow and see what can be achieved!

You should lollipop your plants in the area down where you don't get good light penetration to help focus flower production on the top colas

I rock a 250 watt hps that i got from home depot. I freaking love it. I use it over my 600 watt. I also do a scrog that i built in a 4x2 tent. Still trying to get yields up, but i know with each grow yields are going to go up.
What should i expect from a 250 watt hps at full potential?

Hi guys, can I join the 250W club? :D

First time doing a serious grow actually. The beggining was hard, because I think my plant got rootbound and that in turn caused super slow growth (could also be the humidity). Things are starting to pick up from now, really hope that she'll start growing faster, because at this rate I'll be waiting until next year haha.

I keep my light about 30cm above my plant. Can't get any lower than that I'm afraid. At the moment I'm pleased with the 250W, using a dual spectrum bulb by the way.
