2 months, normally with 9 gallon I could go a lot more than 2, but I prefer bigger pots for fail safe of watering problems

I've got cooltube with some extended reflective wings as seen here;

so-called reflective material doesn't seem much reflective, so if I cut some mylar film and wrap the wings, is it gonna make any difference? or so much heat for mylar?
what do you guys think?

You could try a test run, but even the heat from a 250w might be too much. That
anodized aluminum hood is supposed to be 90-98% reflective if I remember right.
Mylar is about 97% so not sure how much you would gain.

Thanks. There is actually 5 plants in there, 4 different strains.
Right side is Reserva Privada OG Kush.
Front left is Connoisseur Genetics Purple Cheddar, back left is
Royal Queen Critical and in the way back is 2 mini-mainlines under
Kessil LED - another RQ Critical and a Critical x Super Silver Haze cross
I made.

I've got that freebie myself, plan on running it along with one of my CR x SSH
crosses in the near future.
Thanks for the great comments!

That's a hella of a job for a 250w man. More power to u.
Is this your first grow with that many plants under a 250w?
How do you veg?

Here is my GSC bagseed under the 250w using the FF trio.
Not quite sure what week she is but Im thinkin somewhere around 4-5 weeks left on her.
She went through a rough spell and missed about 3 days of light(moving) but the night I fed her she bounced back and started showing some frost.

Looking nice Psych and Cheeba.
Cheeba I'm not sure if the second part of your comment was to
me also?
If so, I have run up to 4 full scrog plants in there with 3 under the HPS and one
under the Kessil LED in the back.
Right now it is 3 plants in scrog buckets up front under the 250W, and 2 small main-line plants under the LED.
I top all the plants for the scrog at the 4th to 6th node, not counting the bottom
node. Then I just LST till it hits the screen and fill to about 60-80% depending on strain
before flip.

What's your guess on your pull? Two under a 250?

3 plants under the 250, I usually average 2-3.5 oz. each.

I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong... One thing that I need to start doing is removing all lower branches to help max my colas...

I definitely hack my girls up quite a bit.
With the 250's low penetration, it is important to maximize your horizontal spread IMO.
Why I think scrog is one of the best options for a low wattage grow.

My next op is def gonna be a SCROG under the 250. This is my first run with the 250w.
Anyone familiar with this type of non serrated leaves at the crown?
