Where is your ballast? I know that with the older built in ballasts hoods, the side by the ballast get super hot.

Well yeah probably not THAT big of an issue, but the plant is wasting a lot of growing energy because the leaves are transpiring to get cool. I guess that's just something to keep in mind for future grows.

Keep an eye on it and keep us updated.

Also welcome to any new members, and great shots all keep up the great work.

well bro I run the 250 with a mh or hps bulb. On 18/6 n veg it costs me right at 11.76 a month to run. 12/12 it costs me 7.26 a month. Hope this help. Electrical rates around here are around .0837 cents per kw. To figure what urs will be just use this simple math equation- wattage used x number of hours used x electrical rate ÷ 1000. That will give u daily cost and just multiply that by 31 to get ur highest average. I figure highest average adds in the sudden surge of it cutting on. Hope this helps u bro.

So i just wanted to give everyone an update

I took a little sample off the Bubba about 2 days ago let it dry out and then stuck it in a dehydrator for a few hours to quick dry so my wife and i could sample......here is the end result.


Taste: im giving a 7 out of 10 only because she hasnt been flushed yet and shes about 6 days from harvest... Tasted very kushy defiantly taste very piney with a fuel smell and lemony after taste.

Look: 8/10 Although ive been saying shes not very crystally i was wrong she dried out to revel a wonders frost. nice dark orange pistils.

Smell: 7/10 again only because this is not a finished product but she smells like diesel few with a spike of lemon vodka.

Hopefully saturday is chop day gonna be doing 48 hours in a dark room that is about 10 degrees colder than normal hopefully gonna see some purp..

hi mates i just wondered whats the biggest dry yield you guys pulled out from 250w hps and what soils and how many plants?
Click to expand...
There's a lot of different variables, to say a yield. Here are some things to keep in mind though. DWC will yield FAR more than soil, but the quality in taste and potency in my opinion takes a hit, it's not THAT bad but I prefer soil. However with that said a general rule of thumb is .5 gram for every watt is a decent/good/normal grow. So 250 divided by 2 and you're looking at around 125 grams. If you're new to growing that number will be drastically lower, in most cases.

Edit: I did not directly answer your question, only because what works for some doesn't work for others. Also if you're new to growing I don't want you to think you can get as much as someone who has been growing for a good while. It is possible but I don't want to give you false hope or information. I figured you asked about what yields we were getting to get a round about idea as to what you can expect from a 250's performance.

Hope this helps.
