Does everybody LST or train heavily? Im on my second grow with my 250. Having a hellofa time figuring out some problem thats causing premature leaf drop second half of flower. I think now its the fungus gnats, and I hope so cus thats my last damn guess! Anyways got about 2 oz the first grow, and this one looks like maybe over 3. Was really counting on 4 + oz... I WOULD GO TO A 600 watt WHY WASTE TIME WITH A 400? They cost about the same to buy and run, but a 600 you can yeild a pound with skill.
Im gonna do a SCROGG next time for sure. Individual screens on each bucket tho. You can yeild a half pound like that suppossedly with a 250! This time I did some FIMMING. LST woulda been better.... I did that once under my CFLS and had good results.

Ounce abbreviated is OZ. which became a Z which became a ZIPPER which became a ZIP. Similar with a 1/4 OZ. became a QUARTER and then Q and then a Quaker and then a Quake.LOL fanx for teliin me man i was baffled, i only no oz's and g's lol how did an oz end up bein called a zip? or is it like an american slang or sumin lol
If you top and LST I hear of people getting 4 Zs or more under a 250 watter. I did the 2 week harvest for a cycle and with 4 plants I get about a Z every 2 weeks. It keeps me smoking all day every day but I do not share with anyone except the wife occasionally.

What makes you think they cost the same to run?? If they cost the same to run id be using a 600w now.

I have to agree with Growinthabudz...... 600w HID's may generally cost the same as a 400w ONLY TO BUY THO but when it comes to electricity consumption between the 2 comon man no offence but you dont even need to think about its 200w MORE so u must realise it will not cost the same to run try it out or ask people im no expert but where more energy is needed more cash will be needed. happy growin man

The general key to how much you should yeild is .5 grams per watt of light. So if you have a 250 watt light you should yeild about 125 grams in total. .5 grams a watt is a successful grow if its really good you can obviously yield more and if you lst, top fim you can produce more as well. But generally .5 grams a watt is a good yeild if you do evrything right

Yes like i said if evreything goes right and you take care of them you should expect .5 grams a watt good luck hope u get it.

how the hell can you grow 10 plants under a 250 hps at 16 inches tall ....
You must be flowering straight from seed ???

I always lst under 250w
Easier IMO to work with/move lst'd buds around.
My veg time is usually too short to fill
a screen which is another reason i lst.

I got about 2.5 or 3 OZ from my 250 in a 3 square foot area with 12 plants(4 per square foot) in small pots. I had to harvest early(week 6) due to pesky mildew, but still got a good yield of highest quality dank
I grew the black,l.a. bling, grandaddy purps, kaia kush and pre-98 bubba in a SOG style. Vey fun and rewarding. The trick with a 250 is to maximize reflection of light and keep a thick, dense canopy. Grow On!

Im not sure if i qualify, but i receintly switched to two 150w HPS (300w) from two 95 watt T5s with 180 watts of side CFLs. My plants were so angry with that set up and my buds were small and not very tight.
They now love the HPS. I have about 9 plants under them and from the size and the amount of budsites, im looking at 6 oz eazy.
They were FIMed a couple of times during veg (5 weeks total with 175w CFLs) and topped a week before flowering. I let them start to flower and right before the hairs start to poke out-usually within a week of flowering, i FIM a few buds and LST the plants as needed. I also use plastic shoeboxes i got from the dollar store with 2 plants per container being grown with mainly organic compost from my yard. This lets me move them around so they all get the same amount of light from all angles.
I like this set up alot, and i think im gonna add one more 250w HPS. I have about 3+feet between the tops of the lights and the ceiling so heat isnt much of an issue.
