i would say 1 maybe 2 big nice bitches or 2-4 small short squat bitches haha bitces funny.. but from what i see with you i would go for 2-3 mayyybe 4 for the most usage of light..IMO once again

there seems to be alot more intelligent people in here so keep on asking for more opinions cause the fact is we are all sharing opinions but theere is alot of facts around them.. i try and keep it simple haha..

talking alot cause im stoned and pissed!!!
40oz causality and S99 dont help:eyesmoke:


also try and get that light as close as you can without burning the tops as long as you have god venitlation you should be able to get them to almost touch the light without burning..

Have to think effective light area more than number of plants. 250 cover a 3x3' area. Plan accordingly. You might want to look at some 2700k (warm white) 42 watt cfl's for side lights when the plant get larger and in flower.

Here's a couple shots of my gals on day 2 of 12/12 (straight from clone)...
I had previously used a 400watt HPS in this same closet, but was having some heat issues so dropped down to a 250watt HPS.
So far it's been staying under 82 (was getting up to 87 regularly with the 400) and the kids seem to be liking it with one exception - there's always a jerk in every bunch... :blsmoke:

When do you think you will cut according to the strain info? Got a microscope to check the trichs?

Just bag seed from a local strain, I don't have a microscope. I have a few small cuttings drying after I stopped the nutrients last week. I plan on giving it a test run this weekend to evaluate its future (Hyman's un-scientific approach), I tend to enjoy a slightly early harvest. Regardless, it turned out far better than I imagined for a budget 250w grow. :blsmoke:

I'd say you're right. Outstanding would be a better word for a bag seed grow. Those bagseeds have all kinds of tricks up their sleeve! LOL! So you are going to go by hair color? Since you stopped the nutes you can always wait till it just uses up what it has and then cut.
