I've used HD and I recommend them. Their prices are pretty good. I haven't gotten any freebies from them but as long as my beans arrive its all good. Hard to believe attitude sold out already.
Ab sub said they have not got them yet.That they are just showing the types and not selling them yet.

Cool. Do you get freebies every time from attitude or do you have to place a big order? How does that work and what have your freebies been in your past orders?

You get freebies with every order.At least one fem seed.
Just got the dinafem blue hash and blue widow.
I have heard good things about dinafem,but have not grown any yet.
The g13 pure power i got was real good.

Can I join the club??? I just put my plants under the 250w MH. They aren't looking so good though, they are 12 days old from seed and kinda small for their age. One of em looks like its gonna die, the others are just all still really frail with curly leaves, a few need toothpicks to hold em up. They are in FFOF and were transplanted into their permanent containers yesterday. Is 8 plants too many to veg under the 250w?? The area is 3x4 and I am thinking I might have to upgrade to a 400w sooner than later. Oh yea, they are all indicas, purple kush, crystal something or other, G13 pure power and G13 pure gold (sadly I was distracted while planting em and I'm not sure if the pure gold made it into the mix)

Hey 250ers,
Ok so i've been lurking here for a month.
Bought my 250hps early July, finished my last cfl harvest this week, and cleaning/revamping my flower room.
Walkin closet setup. Nook is 8'x4'x24"
With 5'x3'x24" being what i'll use to grow. Overall it's like a 4x10 room.
As odor isn't an issue but heat is, just wondering about the heat a 250hps is gonna put out.
The setup i bought is all in one ballast in the hood,
With the tempered glass and a 100cfm fan mounted on top.
It's a sun system by hydrofarm.
I can vent heat out the door if need be.
I can't leave the door open, both my cats love pot as much as i do.
With the cfl setup i had room temps were 80-86 a bit warmer under the lights, but never hot enough to burn my plants.
Just trying to get an idea of temps so i can pick up anything i may need.
Also, i've thought about covering the outside of the whole housing except any venting with an insulating tape i've seen at home depot. Anyone do anything like that?
Sorry to be so long winded, and if this stuff is covered somewhere in this thread. I usually end up looking at budporn here. lol
Thanks and peace

The heat shouldn't be much of an issue with a 250w. I am in a large walk in closet as well, with a 170cfm exhaust and a fan blowing over the plants, light is maybe a foot above the plants and its 77 degrees in there. If your closet was heating up to 80s with CFLs then you are gonna need some serious ventilation with the HPS, it is much hotter than the CFLs.

theyre all just bagseed, a few different types of the local stuff
the trichs are mostly cloudy with a fair bit of amber so its pretty much done.

Hey guys im planning on making a new set up but im stuck debating what lighting i should use. My box is 4' by 2' and i was planning on putting 8 plants in it. Im thinking i want to use CFL for my veg (t5 setup) and what im curious about is what i could be expecting for yield if i use two 250 hps for flowering after vegging for 2 months? I plan on growing nebula and Jacky White using LST or 3 small scrogs. Any help would be great

dude with two hps your gonna have some heat but if you can take care of that you you ll be having some nice yields SCROG would be good or a good LST like you said..i would say 4 oz minimum to around 8-9 oz is my estimate some of our 250w members pull around 4oz-7oz on a single 250w usually so take it from there..but i would want to watch this grow:-P i thought about running my 250w MH next to my 250w HPS so i would like to see what yours brings..:weed: hope this helps..

Good morning all. I check into the site routinely and do a lot of reading, but I figured I'd post for a change.

My 250w grow consists of a 250w HPS, a few lucky bag seeds from a local, and a lot of learning. This isn't my first grow, but each time has been significantly different from the preceeding. This one is the healthiest I've done.

Ingredients-

El-cheapo 250w Floralux HPS
3 bag seeds (two were male)
Pro-mix potting soil from germ
Fox Farm Ocean Forest for Veg/Flower
Grow Big + Tiger bloom nutes @ half strength. (Veg/Flower)
2x3 grow room, 5' high ceiling

The plant spent 37 days in veg, the boys were plucked at 20 days from germ (early catch, but it was obvious). It's 44 days old today. The first 21 days were spent under 20/4 light schedule 23w 6500k CFLs, then switched to HPS on 18/6. It's 7 days into the 12/12 cycle.

10 days- repotted



24 days young



44 days- just taken



I'll update progress, I'm optimistic that this plant will turn out delicious.
