250w HPS Your Yield??

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.
Yeah sounds like u've got a nice grow on the go. Got any pics to share??
 
wow i see a lot of 1 to 2 zips in thsi thread i wuz thinkin about gettin a 250wer bu u guys got me thinkin twice about it. its weird becuz ive only grown with cfls and i grow 2 plants at a time and i alwayz get 2 oz.s off of them. but i let my girls get to 3 to 4 feet tall tho
 
hey guys,i got a 250w and i pull about 140 grams wet off each plant,i had 4 plants in 2.5 gallon containers in a 3x3 area for the most part,then they were moved into a larger area,but same dif for the most part. heres the pics a week or so before harvest

Beautiful. Thats how you grow :clap:
 
Could someone see my grow and guess on the yield? I'm really curious now hehe

I have one fairly large Afghan Kush going (LST) along with a 12/12 from seed that is flowering away.

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

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.

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.

WTF HAHAHAHA!!!! Its called a zip because a ounce can fit in a zip lock bag perfectly!! So its basically a zip and he explained it and tried to sound smart and called it "Z" who the fucks asks for a "Q" or a "Z"...ok tryin to shake the PoPo's!! Good looking!!! Hahahaha....He slick tried to be cool and failed!!! I'm glad noone else acted like they knew!!!
 
What strain are you growing??
In that pic there was a Short Rider, 2 Northern Lights, and a Mystery seed.

You are wrong and make no sense. You can fit a gram in a ziplock bag perfectly too. lol
 
From what Ive read the 600watts are just so much more efficient if you look at the lumens per watt ect. And they are the smallest size you can get great penetration of the light into the lower canapy.
