150w hps

hey just wondering if anyone uses a 150 watter and what kind of yield did you get, im usin a 150 with just one plant, day 1 of flowering tomorrow

If a 150 hps is close its as strong as a 1000w.
But the best range for growth is only 4-14 inches around the bulb.
Witch is great for lil cabs. (if you can control the heat)

To get the best yield from them most use Sog or SCROG.
With big plants only the top would get effective light.



When I SOGed I yielded about 1/4 =1/2 oz per plant 4-6 plants. 3weeks veg 2 monthes flower.




Now Im trying to use traning to try an get an Oz each, 2 plants per 150 hps
With 2 monthes veg an 2 monthes flower.

whats sog?

sea of green

Sea of green , lot of little plants flowered with little veg time.

Scrog = Screen of green- Plant trained to grow a flat even canopy with the help of a screen.

If you got larger plant with a 150 hps you may want to point it at the side of the plant near the top insead of hanging it above it..

Suplimental light (cfl?) maybe nessacay for optimal light levels if shes to tall...

good luck grower

shes 14 " tall,

I grew 4 plants with a 150w and got about 3-4 oz of very good smoke...

To the guy who said 150w can equal a 1000w based on distance.. BS... I can place my 1000w 8" from plants...nuff said

That being said you can set up a 150w for much much MUCH cheaper

Believe there is a 150w grower's club (or something like that) on here somewhere.
I found their results simply amazing. It'll work. Would definately be worth looking at.
Even though, I doubt it'll equal as 1K watter.
I admire anyone trying to do, "the mostest, with the leastest". Good luck I'm cheering for you.

Yield will depend on how long is was vegged for, what size pot it's in, and what strain you're growing (some are heavier producers than others). I've done mostly scrogs with my 150w hps in closets and have gotten between 1/2 and 1 oz generally in two gallon pots, occasionally slightly higher if I vegged the plants longer, but always did scrog, and always kept the light no more than about 6 inches from canopy. One time I grew three taller plants in 3 gal pots, not scrog but tree style, they grew to four-five feet and yielded avg. 1.4 oz each but I did add supplemental light on the sides (six vertically oriented T12 fluorescent tubes, one in each corner of the closet and two on the sides) and I vegged these plants for about six weeks before 12/12. I still like scrog better as the setup is more compact, but sog with a larger # of (smaller) plants would work well too...but if you plan to grow only one plant, scrog is the way to go, imo, you can get an oz or more from one decent yielding plant.

i vegged for 6 weeks and its 14" tall and compact and bushy so yeah im hoping between .5 to an oz
