pretty interesting grows you guys have! im thinking about getting a 250 for my 2.5x2.5 area with maybe 2 added 70w hps' alongside the 250. currently using the 2 70w's on my white widow so i might as well use them with a 250...good idea? or not?
Hello 250 watt club! I use the HTG Supply 250 watt HPS system in a Euro Reflector. My last grow I used the HPS bulb but I fried it because (90% sure) of a hot start on my ballast. So this grow I am using an AgroMax high output MH conversion bulb. I cool the hood with a 6 inch duct booster fan from homedepot that cost me $28. I also have three computer fans for intake and a 6 inch desk fan to blow across the tops of the plant. My grow box is 3' 5" tall, 2' wide, and 1' 2.5" deep. I am growing (under 12/12 lighting) one large female plant and a seedling whose sex is unknown. The temps are 76-82 degrees fahrenheit during the day and 70-65 during the night. The humidity stays around 20-30% almost all the time. Here's two pics of how I'm using my 250 watt. If you wanna see more pics just go to my journal by clicking on the link in my signature. I hope you all enjoy!

That's fine with me man, if you got any questions you can post in my journal or shoot me a pm. The only difference seems to be that I am growing in soil. I have a DWC unit set up so once I determine the sex of my new seedlings I will cut a clone off a female and give DWC a try.

ill try to get better at growing then i'll give scrog a shot, seems well worth it. so pretty much if u do a sativa dominant plant the lower buds arent gonna be as dense? the 70's dont put off much heat i had one right on top of my white widow but with no ventilation on the light or the top of the plant and after 2 weeks like that it just recently started getting a little burnt, it was about an 1" or 2 away from the top of the cola so maybe i can use the 70's enclosed with ventilation as side lighting maybe...
Just got done building a small room for my 250W I have a MH and HPS bulb. I am building ventilation into my hood and running one main fan prolly 80CFM will be running it to check temps. I am running this with a hydroponic system...most likely shooting for some white strains widow and G13 along with some others...
heloooohow can i get membership in this club?? heheheee...
right on!! is your ballast switchable?
