from "personal experience" does anyone know about how much to xpect from a 250wt hps?

[rollinupsweets]

would a 250 watt hp make about 30 grams of dry bud(4 plant) ?? ...

 

[Woomeister]

many other factors to consider but a good grower should look to get 0.5-0.6 grams per watt of light used. So you should be aiming realistically for between 100 and 125 grams total but like I said there are sooooo many other factors!good luck

I will be able to let you know in about 4 weeks. I am growing with a 250w. I have 5 plants in a vertical grow setup. But like woomeister said, You should be able to get .5-1.0 grams per watt. There is a lot of ways to grow and increase your yield. I think that vertical grows allow you to get more off of one light. But this is only my second grow and my first grow was with cfls. So i cant really say how much i can get until i get a few more grows under my belt and get everything down to a science. LOL Good Luck

My first grow was under a 250w hps. with great sucess....
had almost 1/2 pound out of 4 plants. drain and fill...
true story... it was actually 5 plants but I kept one for myself...
she was small and beautifull....

That sounds real good. Do you happen to have any pics of the plants or just the grow room you used and how you had it setup. I would love to get a harvest that big off of my 250w hps. I also have another 250w that i have not used yet so i could maybe incorporate it into the mix and maybe get close to 1/2 pound harvests. That sounds a little high for just one 250w light but i guess anything is possible. Good Job. I hope you have pics.

More watts will only increase your yield if you have enough plants to cover the whole area. I guess it might help with the 4 you have but they are probably getting all they need from the first one.

 

[growtosmoke831]

Make sure you add more air circulation in your room to acount for the extra heat if you do infact use the other one.

 

[buster7467]

If you are talkin to me, I already have enough air circulation to handle the other light. Plus i would just use the light in another cooltube and daisy chain them to the exhaust fan. Plus i am only using half of the available space in the room. I am not going to add the other light to this grow because i want to know how much i can get off of one light so i can then set up the other light and put the right amount of plants around it so i can have both going and get a harvest every month. But i want to get it down real good with one light so i can maximize the electricity that i will use. If you understand me. Plus here is a couple pics of my setup. And of one of my plants. Keep in mind there is some things that i will be changing in the room soon so please keep the comments on things that need changed. I already know what i need to fix. These are just so you can see how i have the light setup and the plant arrangements. Thanks.

holy f...those buds look so fuckn nice n looong white hairs,hey ima try n keep track of ur grow,ima try n add u as a buddy Buster , so i can then have a number to go off of to set my high expectations n hopefully get close,hey what kinda plant do u have there??

 

[mrskitz]

if you veg for 4weeks and do everything well,then you should probably get a few
+ ounces off each plant,,,,but noone can give you a definate answer,,,,,,,,peace

That's cool, but this is only my second grow ever. So i am still experimenting with all this myself. I am still learning everyday. I am getting ready to put 9 24in tall plants around my light on my next grow when these are done. I wish i had a 4ftX4ftX8ft tall room. because i would do a real vertical grow from floor to ceiling with my 2 lights. Maybe one day soon i can get one built. I am curious to see what other people are pulling from a 250w hps setup. I will post my final yield when my plants are done in a couple weeks.

so my 250w lights goin to finally get used, i ordered big bang seeds from greenhouse,germenated and planted 2 hopefully i can jus keep them as mothers..but im trippin out about changing the lighting going to 12/12 well just how tall the plant should be before i do so, i want to keep the plant short throughout the flowering...???

I just came across your thread and I can tell you from personal experience that 250W HPS is perfect for personal smoke. I started with one around the end of April this year and I am averaging about 3 ounces every 60 days. It's hard to say exactly, because I have have plants going in every few weeks rather than all at once. You will definitely want to limit space to about 4 square feet and put the lights very close to the top of the plants-mine are like 6 inches or less. Good Luck!
