250w HPS Club And Help Guide

The pistils are the begging of bud formation.Once the plant kicks into high gear they will look more like buds than they do now.And as for the pistils changing color you are fine.Your plants are looking healthy though.Keep up the good work.:peace:

Wow what a bunch of assholes seriously.... Customer service has been slowly dying lately it seems. That sucks dude, oh well your plants are looking good without anyway. SSH is nice, but I've been reading a lot of bad reviews from Greenhouse (Can't verify the validity of these reviews) lately so be careful. Both those Hazes would be good for a SCRoG grow for sure dude.

No problem with the tips and info Mind, curing is a bitch lol.

Doobs,
I have read that about SSH and greenhouse seeds,But i have also read not to buy fem seeds because they hermie all the time.My last 2 grows where from fem seeds and no hermies to be found.And my bro in colorado only uses fem and has never had a hermie.I like to find out stuff on my own,unless it is a reliable source.And alot of times the info is not reliable.Thanks for the heads up though.Those assholes at Futuregarden really suck.Well i got to go chill out and smoke a Fatty.lol

Yeah I figured you would want to find out on your own that's why I put that I didn't know how valid those reviews exactly were. There's different opinions on fem seeds hermie-ing and blah blah blah, but like you pretty much said, never had a real problem with that honestly.

Hope you're enjoying that fatty.

What's up room 250:hug:? I'm gonna try and update every couple of weeks with pics of the crop :leaf: It has now been 3 weeks since I turned 12/12 and I think its going smoothly. I have noticed a couple of pistils turning purple/brownish, is this ok:?: When should I see buds forming because right now the pistil look like wisps floating in wind. I smell a hint of bud whenever I walk in the grow room, is the smell going to get any louder? Thanks

The smell will get more pungent as the calyxes develop, and the hairs turning is fine. Looking good though Sp4ce keep up the great work :bigjoint:.
 
I am looking to upgrade some lighting but also wanna keep the upfront cost low. I have priced out both a Switchable 400W HPS & MH and a 250 W MH. I already have a 250 W HPS. What I thought was to either buy the switchable, or if I should buy the 250 W MH and use it for veg and then add the 250 HPS during Flowering. I have been debating and I figured to hear a few opinions would be good. Your voice will be heard and I wait for your input fellow growers, smokers, and simple forum posters.
 
Looking nice man. I am envious. I hope my red dragon turns out well, (4 day old seedling after germination).

Thats 3ft Correct?
Also how many Low ryders or other auto strains would one of these lights suite?

Cheers.

3x3 yes thats feet im not to familiar with auto flowering plants but you can SOG 9-12 plants easy stick with an indica shoot for single colas ... talk around i know some people in here used auto flowering plants before..

1. what does that mean??

2. i need to flower my plants as if i veg them any longer they will be too big for my wardrobe!! has anyone got any tips on trimming them before i flower them? or topping? im not familiar with either practice but iv heard i can increase my yield, iv got just over 3 square foot with 4 plants. :-?

nice one guys

Nice Man, that is a great area for a 250 like you said as long as you have good ventilation youll be fine.. i dunno you would have to try it out. It gets pretty hot. My areais 4 x 4 and its pretty warm in there and i have 1 big 1 1/2' floor fan.
i would go with the lowryder #2.. if you do got with the 1 indica you should top and fim the plant and do a LST method. if you can your area is kinda small ... good luck

how many girls u got in dat 4x4 area? i got 6 in da same sized area and was wondering wat kinda yield im gonna b expectin off a 250 hps?

Depends really....

If you're happy with the results your 250 is putting out then just get the 250 HPS, if you're thinking of expanding your grow or growing more, then you might wanna go with the 400 hps/mh.

Hope this helps.

1. SoG means Sea of Green, it's a grow style. Basically think of all small main cola plants, and Wretched was talking about doing that grow style with auto flowers also.

2. Trimming or topping right before flowering can cause un-needed stress. If they're getting too big to managed go ahead and throw them into flower now. If they still grow and you're running out of space you can always pinch or tie down the Meristem (Main stalk). Again any training during flowering is not recommended but if needed you can. The growFAQ has a tutorial with pictures on how to top/fim, check it out.

Hope this helps.

I know this question is directed mostly if not solely for Wretched, but yield is one of those things that has so many factors/variables that it's really hard to answer a question like this. I mean you've got, grow method/style, room size, plant size, strain, 75% of water weight being dropped after harvest/dry/cure, etc. etc. I'm sure if you gave us more info on your plants we could guess the yield but that guess even then might not be exact, maybe close but not exact.

Hope this helps.
 
How many plants in a SOG setup do you guys think I could fit under a 250 watt? I have a 4.5 feet tall, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep flowering box. I'm thinking of trying six but I don't know if the 250w will give them efficient lighting. Anyone have any experience in a sog using a 250 watt? Thanks a lot clubbers, this is def the best club on RIU
 
Well, I can't really say i am happy nor displeased with the results of my grow (in regards to my lighting). My first grow turned out all males so I don't know how it would have done for 3-8 plants during flower. And its the 250 W HPS that i do have and was debating between the 250 W MH and the 400W Switchable. Would it make a big difference if i ran a 250 W HPS and a 250 W MH vs 400 HPS? I like to see many sides and try new things. It would be better to have more light during flower than veg right? Thanks ahead of time for your guys knowledge and suggestions. I realize alot of this may be personal preference but you know.....

6 is fine you could even do more, keep them at 3ft-4ft and you'll be golden.

If you have the cash to burn then go with the 400w HPS/MH. The amount of light is important but the spectrum/timing is more important. Having both a MH and a HPS would create a very natural lighting spectrum for the plants, you can do this both in veg and in bloom cycles. The 400w is going to put out more lumens which means you can grow more plants, but the 250 HPS plus the 250 MH will give a more natural spectrum and more lumens but not as much as the 400 I don't think.

So it's really up to you, I'd probably go with the double 250 setup and have both 250's running at the same time for both veg and bloom and just switch the timing over.

I've done SoG but I'm SCRoG at the moment, and probably will be from here on out lol.
 
Thanks Doobieus, i was leaning towards that idea (dual 250s) myself. I would be saving like almost 80 bucks, so good thing there too! lol
