250w HPS Your Yield??

So growing in 2 gallon pots under a 250w you get 2-3.5oz a plant? Do you only grow two plants at a time or is there room to fit more? I'm asking because I have 4 Plants in 1 gallons that I need to repot before flower and was wondering if I could fit all 4 in 2 gallons under a 250w hps
When i veg, yes i only grow two under the light.
I am doing 12/12 from seed, in 1 gallon pots this grow, so i'm flowering three.

This is one of my two girls 70 days into flowering. She was grown with a 250 watt hps, in a grow tent that I purchased online (don't remember the brand). For ventilation I used a 4" inline duct fan attached to a carbon scrubber with ducting.

I think that she has a week or 2 to go, but I'm probably gonna pull this week due to my circumstances.

With a short (3-4wks) veg under cfls
I grow in 2 gallon pots
Flowering with 250w hps
and average between 2-4 zips per
plant, depending on the strain.
You mean wet weight right??
I call BS on you guys saying your getting 2-3 zips of dried herb per plant from a 250w, youd have to have a perfecct grow to get that froma 400w besides a 250w....

My weights are dry weights, and i stand by them. I don't know anyone who uses wet weight when discussing yields.
As far as a 400w goes, i moved from 250 to 400w this summer. My first harvest of 4 plants netted over 9 ounces.

I got 70 grams per plant off my first grow w/ 250w... but the temps/rh remained in the perfect zone the entire time

lol plenty of people can do it. It has to due with pot/tub size, whether it's hydro or not, strain, conditions.

I know for a FACT i can get 4-5 oz's per 5 gallon in soil with a 400 HPS.

My Sharksbreath yielded 1.5 oz dried in a 1gal pot with coco hempy style. 250w are good for micro sog. with a bonsai mother plant you could have good herb evey 2-3 weeks. id say .5oz to 1oz every 2 weeks

Man is this what I should expect? Because honestly getting 1 ounce off each plant is a shitty grow deal
It won't be one ounce if you know how to treat a plant will it? I'm always happy with whatever my yield is from my 250w, cheap and easy to run with next to no venitlation needed. I grow with autoflowers 2 at a time and the most i've had is 42g from one of them in 8 weeks growing...

my buddy pulled over 6 ounces of bubblegum on his first run in a small closet
the next run he got near 4 ounces

The bubblegum is why he did so well

That was such good, happy pot. I'm gonna have to do a seed crop of it.
 
I use 2x2x6 space, I lst and top in 3 gal pots all from seed in soil-less, turn lights 5 weeks from second node. 250 mh Veg, 250 hps flower. If I get 4 main colas, 3.5' plant, I'll get 2 -2.5 oz consistently when they are 55 RH in jars. My plants are always healthy and 1400ppm by the end. I'm not an expert, but my plants are full and fat with colas falling over on their own weight. I don't understand where you guys are getting 3 more ounces on same veg time, same lights. Unless you are weighing much wetter weed than I am.

Been growing under 250w hps for just on 8 years now. Always 2 plants, different strains including Skunk #1 & Northern Lights from Sensi, Honey Cream & White Widow from RQS. Tend to average anywhere from 4oz if only 1 plants makes it, to 10.25oz from 2 if everything's dialled in. Usually 6oz & above is standard but I'm happy with anything above 4oz tbh. Been Manifolding for the past 2 grows. I recommend it. It does prolong Veg time but it's worth it I think. Just finished my first White Widow, which was manifolded. 2 plants, 7.5oz. Went to 11 weeks of flower though.
