in a 2x2x4ft cab, about how many degrees would a 250w raise the cab over the ambient temp outside? with little or no direct exhaust/intake

Best Of Both Worlds !!!

Add me to the club :woohoo: , but all my 250ws are not HPS. My set-up will be a 150w HPS and a 100w MH. I added the MH about 4 months ago but I haven't been growin since the bigenning of the year. My last harvest was the first week of the new year. The strain I grew was Top44 which was pretty easy to grow and it had a high that last a really long time. I'm still thinking about start up a new grow which would be a scrog, But I'm trapped between which strain to pick. Papaya or SADP X Skunk#1 which was a freebie from gypsy. I have sprouted the durban p x skunk freebie with no problem but had to scap the grow due to no power ( Hurricane Wilma :badday: ) Hurricane seasons is just around the corner again but I'm feeling lucky this year. Here are a couple of piCs of the dried/cured Top44 bud that I had about 4 months back, All gone now :joint:. It was grown with only a 150w HPS.

You'll probably have to mount the vortex outside.

7 1/2 weeks, just about done.

very nice groer, whats your average yield per plant in ya cab, im going to atempt a similar grow but the number of plants should be higher, like 12 plants in 2 L square pots, if the yeild per plant is like 10 grams im satisfied, if it reaches 20 gr a plant it will be almost a gram per watt grow :woohoo: ,
man i cant wait to start flowering them, i had a little heat problem so i will have to solve that first, maybe buying a rvk to cool things down.
heres a nug from my last grow,curing in glass jar for a wile
critical mass #2





peace :joint:

Thanks, it looks like it should be at least 10g per plant, I won't know for a few days. I chopped 1 early at 6 weeks and it came out to 8 grams. Just chopped last night.

I use a 250w. But I have a 270w bulb. I'll post some pics when my ladies start looking fine. I have a question though because I am going to try a ScroG next time. I hear if you want to ScroG from seed you have to sex them before they go under screens..well how exactly does that work? When they reveal if they are male or female then do I just put the screen directly under the tops and wait for them to grow under and pull them back under? Or would it work better if I just switched them back to 18/6 after I found out rather they are female or male and let the tops fill in the screen? I'm still trying to figure out exactly how this works.

Cool stuff in this thread.

I'm also using a 250 Watt hps.
My first grow is almost finished.
the size of my cabin is 2x2x4 feet (60x60x120 cm) so I'll have to scrog.
