well i am new to this site and i really enjoy this thread i am a newer grower have always been a 400w guy but on this my 4th grow i will be using a 250whps with a 70w hps and two 90watt ufos 660nm to 630nm red matched with ten blue tri spectrum i am about 4 weeks into my grow and all things are really good im putting faith in these ufo so we will see i am not budding yet currently growing moms from seed my strains are lsd, blz bud , crimea blue, hawian snow, and power africa. i hope to aceive 25 to 30 plant flower scog of course may b a lil less im gonna set up a perpetual cycle to harvest every 4 weeks i will keep u posted it should be all good as my room is big enough and my didgital light meter is maxed out in most places and around a 5 to 6 on the floor in the corner furthest from the light so here we go plus i will have a cloning room under a ufo and a t5 35w
come a long for the ride with me lets see how it goes i will try to post a few times a week oh shit almost forgot i have a swiss cheese in there as well

How do you spell high-jacking a thread? Is it hi-jacking, or hy-jacking or what?

We don't mind reallly.

Its a great set imo. Just picked it up before the first week of flowering. The digital 250 puts off SOOO much more light than my old magnetic 150.

Here's my grow/smoke report on LSD. I've grown it twice and will start a third soon.

sweet thanks

whats the smallest size cabinet you should use with a 250? I've got a 12 foot^3 cabinet and my temps are way too high and I've even got an active intake/passive exhaust. wtf is going on?

In a cabinet with a 250 you need active exhaust. I have an active air exhaust, and a boosted intake and my temps still reach 80 sometimes.

My cabinet is 6 1/2' T, 2 1/2' D, 4' W

hello, i have gone and put another 400w into my cupboard to try and maximize yeild.
so with the 650w of HPS in there now does anyone think it should beef them buds up because they are looking quite small on some of the autos. Prolly around 20-30 days left.

More light will def increase bud density and therefore weight. Plants usually add a significant weight in the last 2-3 weeks.
