150w HPS Club and Resource Guide......

[AcroPhobic]

i know ive been reading about bout growing for at least 2 month straight only thing im a lil confuse is the air flow and the heat the 150 hps produce.. how much do they produce ? .. and behind the closet is a hallway to the backdoor so i was just gonna leave my screen door open and alot of air comes in with pressure so i know if i make a hole in the wall of the closet (size of a door knob) and get another fan and put it close to the hole, i will pull alot of cool air in ..

Re-Read the link provided by hoosierdaddy. It's the most important part of a grow. A 150 with a new bulb produces little if any heat if properly ventilated and I get my plants as close as 3-4 inches from bulb without burning. My grow cab has an 8inch exhaust with 3 settings (low-med-high) on top, with 2 four inch pvc pipes and 1 two inch pvc for intakes on bottom with a 6inch fan blowing on canopy+bulb. My temps stay 2-4 degrees above ambient usually and thats with exhaust on low setting! Its all abour airflow!

your not doing it right.

9oz should be easily doable

edit: im not talking medical so no limits on plant count obviously

9 OZ from a single 150hps.. id like to see this..you got pics?

~pHaNtOm~....my bad, i read again, and now I see what you meant . looks i smoked 1 too much already

i think i had it wrong because he didnt make himself clear..when he said limits i thought med limits but now i think you had it right he was talking box limits. and there are no limits of how many you can put under a light or ina box

The "limit" is diminishing return. Depending on strain, environment and the grower, more plants doesn't always translate to more yield.

i ment limit as in medicaly i can have 6 budding and 18 in veg sorry bout the confusion
and 150WPIMPIN have you pushed 9oz from a 150 i mean i know you can get more than a gpw but 9oz is 1.68 gpw
and if you did push that what was the weed like was it half popcorn or is that mostly nug weight and what strain was it comercial or just gifted genes would much appriciate if you could help

oh ok well thats doable with 6 if your talking like that i can cycle out 1 every 9 days and put a new one in and pull 1.5-3oz perplant if you count like that thats 9-18oz for 6 plants but the reason thats different is cuz your not budding all of those 9oz at once you have one plant that will come out in a week and one thats just went in the box and the size of those plants that are not very far along equals more light for the ones finishing
for example think of a 400w box full of 9 plants in the same size pots you use 2 weeks into flower your 150w could fit all those plants but only cuz there 2 weeks old any older and your light would not be enough to bud the whole plant but you could do prepetual with those same size plants but you would not be pushing the same as a 400w did cuz the 400w budded them all at once
so what im saying is gpw(gram per watt) is the max done under one single harvest
and if you went back in time and took those 9 plants 1 week before harvest and put them all in your box at once your light would not grow them

[hoosierdaddy]

Kelly, I like your style! That is how it was done for years and years by us poor boys.
Very righteous memories right there.
Looks good!

^you are not getting 9 zips out of a 9 week cycle..you are getting one > 1 oz zip per 9 week cycle. lol if you put one plant in every week and take one out every week for harvest thats still 1 ounce zip oz per. its alittle differant when you just say 9oz out a 150 people think you are telling them if you put a few plants under a 150 for 8-9 weeks you should harvest 9 zips.

o k

[~pHaNtOm~]

like i said.......Ok killer!

 

[~pHaNtOm~]

it doesnt matter how you slice it

it's 9zips every 9 weeks bottom line

I dont even see why were arguing here.

dude said he struggled to break 4 or 6 zips with a 150

all I did was say well im getting 9 zips every nine weeks out of my 150

whos argueing..i want to know how you get your numbers? you post it i wanna know.. i just read your top44 thread and still dont get how you figure how you get 9 zips in 9 weeks off a single 150w hps.? please school us people with clearly less knowledge then you kind sir..????????

[~pHaNtOm~]

ok well im not trying to be an ass..but you still have not gave numbers? and first you say 150hps and now you say a 150w+ cfls.
ok so how many plants do you put into and take out of flowering per week. some1 is here to learn and it seems you dont want to post numbers and not show us or post how it is done. why post numbers if you cant put it down on paper so others can learn??

and ounce every week off a 150..how many plants do you cut to get an ounce.? you making this very hard for some1 to learn how its done. sort of like the whole drdud saying he gets all these numbers and this and that but you read threw threads and know real numbers or plants are ever shown just predictions of what it could harvest not what it really does harvest.

so?

[~pHaNtOm~]

6 plants average 6 grams a plant

ok now we getting some place
6 plants going in every week and 6 plants going out every week +6 for each week in between so you have 54 plants under a single 150w hps ok im done here..all i see are predictions
