250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Whats up clubbers

At home on my lunch break. Been a busy day so far. I wanted to give you guys an update with some pics on my 3D girls last night but I ended up stoned and forgot all about it. This is only my fourth grow and my only grow from legit genetics (the last three were bagseed) and I can tell a huge difference in the amount of bud being produced in such a short time. I'll be sure to post some pics tonight. I'm gonna get ballsy and try dwc next grow. I saw the WB harvest and I'm sold. Good job and thanks for the inspiration.

My Pleasure bro,The biggest thing is Ph and keeping your solution 68-70 IMO.
I really think that was the biggest difference this time,a constant ph and solution temp.Use at least a 3 gallon but a 5 would be better.And only 1 plant per bucket,its a pain but i think it works out better for the plants.:peace:

Cool man, I'll keep that in mind.





So here is the update. 3D 29th day in flower. I'm so excited. These three girls look soooooo much better than anything I've grown yet. According to Subcool they'll be done in three more weeks. I know to take that with a grain of salt, I just wanted to remind everyone.

Can't forget us sisters too now lol, welcome to the club Cowell. If you have any questions about 250's or grow go ahead and feel free to shoot a question our way and we will try our best to help you out.

Lol thanks alot, I will be asking lots of questions I am sure... I also thought I would head anyone off at the pass... I know you can't grow 3 lbs under a 250... I was joking..but I'm excited about some experimenting I am going to be trying with my 250 over the next few grows and may really need some assistance.. and I've never been one to diss the ladies, please accept my apologies and thank you for the welcome!:peace:

Just the bulb? OR the ballast and reflector also? I'm sure it would be good for growing, but the specs on the bulb could help i guess.

Last pic was made 2 days ago,
I removed them from my home made grow box to my new HomeBox Growtent.

Enjoy!
 
here is the bulb http://planetbulbstore.com/c250s50-alto.html

my bad bro im slow today :joint:

Yea, the bulb is fine. could be a little better. The best spectrum for flowering is 2700k, that bulb is 2100k, but not bad. But do you have a ballast for it? Oh yea. Just to clarify you want to use an HPS for Flowering and a Metal Halide (or Fluorescents) for Vegging. Although I've heard of many people using an HPS through the whole process, but supposedly causes some stretching.


^^Nice job BlackRoses^^
 
easy guys just thought would drop in and say sweet thread, i just moved into my new place and from splitting up with our lass where i used a 400w hps which had its problems of high temp and was expensive, so have got a new closet and a 250w duel spec hps, using 1g square pots with canna cocco and all the canna tuts, have air cooled reflectore hucked up to extractore fan and carbon filter, and a bathroom extractor fan as my intake. temps around 76-82f hum around the 50% have dimonde reflective sheeting and old clean carpet and rockwool for insulation and vibration reduction.

pics below and can i join the club!!!!

Like Newb said you will need a reflector and ballast, but you should be fine with a 2100k bulb, it's deeper into the red spectrum of the orange/red, so it will still provide the density that you want.
 
I just wanted to drop in real quick to let you guys know you're all doing an awesome job, also a welcome to any new members to the club as well.

I know I haven't been around AS often to help with questions, but just know I do try to drop in as frequently as I can for the moment.
