250w HPS users....

[minds_I]

Hello all,

Here's a pic of another Superskunk x NL#5.

Very good weed. Very smooth and the quanity is only out done by the quality. I reported earlier that had a hermie in my flowercab. Well, so far, only about 8 seeds total from 3 different plants so the contamination is slight.

Anyway, this one went 54 days. The trichs said so. The last remaining SSkunk left is not ready yet- she has a different pheno- longer thinner leaves so I suspect sativa dominate. Kewl as I have never grown a sativa dom plant yet and I have enough (I think) to last till it matures.

I flower under a 250watt HPS, here are some shots of the last few grows. I grow in soil and feed with PureBlend.

i did try some sativa butt just for fun, i put them not right under the lights with the other ones, the cross was big bud x s.a.g.e , the fenotipe i had was sativa all the awy,this time im growing arjan´s haze, still in veg so cant say mutch about that.

I'm going to try a few under my 250 next year when I get more space. I think it's going to be a great learning experience for sure keeping a stretchy sativa under a 250. It will be fun.

I too am a 250w Grower. I've been everywhere from Fluoros to 400w.

I just switched my 400w Digital to my 250w because temps were becoming an issue. I put in 240w of Fluoros and my 250wHPS for a total of 490w in a 10sq ft area.

I grew a Original Haze x Skunk #1 under 250w and got some decent results.

I love my 250w and am hoping to get a nice decent dense harvest. All my past grows have been wispy because of higher temperatures.

Hello all,

Why not LST a sativa? Now, I have never grown a true sativa so I may have monkeys flying out my arse on this but do not satvas respond the same to lst?

[i_score]

they response better because they don´t snap very eazy like indicas, if you try both you see the diference, the sativas are good for LST and SCROG.peace

 

[minds_I]

Hello all,

Here is some eye candy for you. This is Superskunk x NL#5-an accidental crossing but very very good to be sure.

I dare say this turned out spectacular. Definately top shelf.





Anyway, with regard to sativas, don't they have higher sensitivities to thier environment and feeding more so then indicas? I know that the flowering time is half again longer then indicas.

Wow Minds I, talk about a nice accident eh? That bud looks bomb as hell

Well i am pretty new to the site and would like to join ur club with my 250 ballast and 270 bulb... I wish this thread didn't die so quick, i was loving the pics, they inspired me to get a 250 in the first place! 250 is the way to go for personal use IMO

here are a couple pics 40 days in flower of some nirvana white rhino. sorry for all the yellow... but u know how it goes, HPS light, didnt want to disturb them...

lower bud sites





couple top pics






This was only my second grow...my first REAL grow given my other one was with a bunch of flos... so im still learning very much...

 

[dre86]

I have a question for you 250 watt users, is it possible to get 7 ounces dry yield off 3 plants under one 250 watter? Or is this bullshit? A first time grower told me this

Nice pics ^ keep them comming

 

[Guest]

7 zips? not really even with the best strains and a scrog you would probably get close to 5 maybe 6 tops. 7 is possible but probably with hydro and co2 and all that mess and a very experienced gorwer. If a first time grower told you he got that off of 2 plants in his first grow he is most likley full of shit.

A decent grower will yield about .5-.7 grams of dry bud per watt. A real good grower can prolly pull off 7 ounces, but that will take a lot of shit put into it, and you cant have any probs...

this is my frist grow with a 250 so i will post detaisl when finished

Yes it is very possible! the outcome would depend on perfect conditions,
having your strains dialed in, and most importantly the genetics.
i have seen dudes pull 6-8 zipps dry that have met the above requirements.
btwy they all scrogged or did some serious training with their plants aswell.

Hello all,

I am on my 10th round and I am still struggling with yields. Quality is there but I have troubles getting over 3/4 O from one plant.

I scrog and train. I use FFOF/ewc/perlite/1tbsn/gal D.lime in three gallon pots using ewc/guano/molasses/kelp teas for ferts.

I am still trying to dial the grow in. But from other pics from others it sure does look like 6-7 O's are doable. Of course I am thinking most of the mojor yielders here are hydro.

minds_I

 

[Guest]

Indeed.

Like we said though 8 ounces comes from a perfectly grown scrog. and I stress the perfect. It's also probably hydro.

3/4 per plant isn't bad dude! I am guessing your all organic... but if you got a hybrid nute (organic and chems, like PBP) going you might get more. Hydro always seems to yield more, but it is more responsibility as you are responsible for all their nutes and eviroment, root wise.

 

[minds_I]

Hello all,
Yeah, all organic. I do have some Alaska fish and some EJ bloom for when I have a instant need.

A lot of my troubles stem from my veg area- only 27-162 watts of cfl's. I need to veg longer I think.

I am improving somewhat. I have sen an increase in yields since I started using mycorrhiza (sp).

I know someone has a pic to share....

 

[Guest]

this thread is off the chain

will b joining the 250 club

wanted to know what are some of the lights u are using like what brand, where u got them from (online) and how much

 

[page1]

these 2 plants are female seeds ice and female seeds easy bud. ice on left, easy on right.

i plan to put another major trained female seeds ice plant in here in 20 days.

the 2 in the flowering room are 10 days flowering so far, still another 2 months left.

let me know what all you guys think??
