My plants. I use a 250 watter with a 270w SonAgro bulb. Bag seed and not really happy with Indica because it's too leafy for my likings. Next time though I'l be growing some Cotton Candy so that should be much better. At least I'll know what to expect lol. Day 49.

I'm running a v-shaped scrog under a 250 watt HPS. I've got it in a homemade cooltube, and between the air cooled bulb and the 'V' shaped screen, I've got all my bud sites within 10 inches of the light. Most are more like 3 to 5 inches. The screen is two roughly 12 inch by 12 inch panels, and I guess my whole grow area is about 2 foot by one foot. I think that this is the secret to a lower-wattage grow: try and fit a dense small area as close to the bulb as possible. Sadly, no pictures for the time being.

THC, how do you like that 270 watt bulb? Does it work O.K. with your 250 watt ballast? I've been thinking about getting one of those bulbs for my next grow, and maybe a digital ballast, but I'd like to hear how other people feel about them first.

Well it works fine with my 250 watter. I mean it was offered as an upgradeable bulb so I'm sure it was suppose to work lol. I've never had an actual 250 watt bulb so I don't know what difference it would have made but I notice my room is not as orange as most guys pics are. It's still on the reddish side but it's veeery bright. So far my plants love it and they are getting fatter by by the week. My thing is if it offers more lumens then every lumen counts. So if it's brighter than a standard 250 watt bulb I'm all for it. Also I'd like to mention I used that bulb for my entire grow. They actually grew normal under it. Probably have to let them go for 9-10 weeks, this currently being the 7th. Don't have an air cooled flange so I have to keep them at a distance, about 15'' above tops.

Hello all,

Well, my POG x SD ibl gifted to me by a member no longer here. Twice now my seed spreading friend has blessed me with top shelf genetics. I would dare to say this is by far the best I have smoked in a dogs year.

The smell is a fruity sweet aroma almost like pledge furniture polish with a slight petrolium smell...but only so slight.

The smoke is smooth from just the tasters I took 4 days ago. It is smooth on the throat and tongue.

Now to the high....one hit will do you well for a few hours. Of course today I took a nap an hour after I got up and had my "W&B" but it is a excellent buzz.

Again, thanks to my seed spreading friend I now have a nice selection as I took cutting from her for a mom briinging my collection to NRS AK48, a local mendocino strain and POG X SD.

This girl wasgrown in organic soil and watered with organic ferts (gauno, ewc, kelp teas) and Alaska fish and EJ Bloom for extra shots.

She was vegged for 58 days under 6-26w 6400K clfs.

She was thansplanted to a 3 gallon pot two weeks before swithing to 12/12.

She flowered under a 250w hps for 64 days.

I have already taken about 6 grams dry of taster buds (all lower smaller buds) so I fill she will produce just over an ounce dry.

I terms of grams/watt....well considering my system can handle 4 plants at a time I would say close to .45grams/watt.

Not bad from my point of view as I have a harvest coming up in about 4 weeks so this will last me and have a surplus.

Anyway, enough rambling on.

minds_I

Enjoy the pics






Hello all,

Edit 7/10.

I harvested 30 grams dry plus about 6 grams dry of preharvest tasters so fromt eh one girl I scored 36 grams..

As to the smoke getting better....ah, yeah. She is a keeper.:)

Dimebag, you will enjoy her I think.

Hello all,

Heres a preview of whats to come in a week or so.

The trichs are mostly cloudy with about 5% amber. These are clones and I have read that some feel clones finish faster...do not know but this is a taster that will be ready in two days to smoke.

Notice the purpling....she is a Norcal mix of Superskunk x NL#5.

Hi Everyone. Can I join the 250watt club please? Pics are of a Sativa plant I grew, the strain is Cinnamon. 2 weeks of 24/7 under a 125watt CFL's at 6400 luminums. Then a massive 11 weeks flowering under a 250 watt HPS. This gave me a pleasing four and a half ounces of flowers. :jump:










My next grow I have three Northern Lights seedlings under CFL's now to be put under 250 HPS in about a weeks time. I will update later in the grow.

Regards oil beef hooked
