Yes you can yeild 1oz per plant with a 250hps. I yeilded a QP with a 150watt hps and 4 45 watt cfl my first grow. Under the same lighting I grew out a skunk 1 clone that yeilded 22 gm. Its not about how much light, but how you use the lighting. Cool that 250 as much as possible and ventilate good. You should be able to get the light withing 6 inches of the plant. And reflection reflection reflection.

(the one on the left was directly below a 150hps)
(the one on the rightwas directly below a 250hps)

Yes,but you must use yeild increasing tec to maximize yeild. I forgot to mentin in my earlier post that all my plants are tied down extremely and grown with a longer veg cycle than most .

Yea the security lights work good. I remote ballast mine in about 15 min. Its very simple if you have a little know how. Also, im sure you guys caught it but I meant 22 grams. I got from a skunk 1 clone under a 150 watt. And it was induced after rooting at 5 inches

shit theo beat me to it. Thats not a good link though... Its THE link.

Theres one super sick grow on there, its a digital ballast in a dressor, SOG, and i think he yeilds 6 plus zips. shit thats not even verticle.
Haha indeed THE link! I look at it often for motivation. I am about to dive into a 250 digital... I have a nice cab to work with. Got plenty of cfl's for Vegg'in and to add if I want to the 250.

plan on doing 2 hempy bucket's and scrog'em.

I kinda have gotten away from this forum. Just seem's when somebody who wants to use a 250 and has questions get's the same answer's. GET A 400 , dont waist your time with a 150 or 250 etc... That link serves as proof of what's possible.
