Dang that's a lot for a lil 250w they're good for like 1 or 2 plants at the most cuz the penitration from them sucks so I gotta keep them pretty close to ur plant to get a OK to decent yield I have one plant under my 250w I've FIMed it and LST'd it to keep it short and busy and to keep the canopy even to get the most yield out of a 250w if I were you if go with a 400w HPS or bigger I'm debating myself to return the 250w I just got and get a 400w cuz it's a lot better.

Ya I would but if the others haven't cracked I would try and dry them out so you can save them, what are you growing them in and how big is the area your growing them in? I'm still on my first grow but I've read a lot from this website and from growweedeasy.com and got a lot of good info from both I'm just giving you my I put if what I would do I'm not expert and far from it but I'd stay with 2 plants max with a 250 and keep them bushy as u can and maybe scrog if I can, it'll help keep the canopy even so the light goes to all the tops. Good luck man!

Ya is go with both of those than and keep them moist till the taproot comes out and try and save the others from cracking So u can save them for another grow of if You get a bigger light.
Gotta 400 watt not sure if it's a hps or mh got it for 40 dollars from a buddy of mine but it works prolly need a new bulb just tryna get technique down pack not doing for the money but for myself tired of making other people rich for some mediocre bud and I'm tired of diesel I'm immune to that shit now

Oh badass get a new bulb for it and run that if u wanna do more plants I want a 400w but to exchange it would cost me like another 130$ just in shipping and that's more than what I paid for it, it's cuz where I live oh well tho, so I'll just stay with the 250 for a while. Ya I've always wanted to grow so I decided to after I found a bagseed lol.

you're right bro the 400 is better. Do you have any hydro shops in your area not to be a creep but I saw some online it might be cheaper to deal with those guys

No ya there's some up here I was gunna see how much they want for a 400w ballast and bulb and see if I can get away with out using a cool tube in my tent and return my 250 but I'd get a cool the later on if I don't need it right away but if I do I'll get one, or see how much a normal air cooled hood reflector would be here at one of the shops.
