just wondering what is the average a 250w hps would yield? I can't decide on a 250 or 400. i have little space to grow.so i am thinking a 250 will be best but i need at least 250 grams very 3month. i will be running ww, ppp- nirvana satori,hashberry-mandala
i don't expect to get good results my first attempt. i plan on growing in soil for now.taking clones a week after 3-4 weeks of veg. my space is 2x.3.5x5. 4to8 plants in 3gal pots using either LST or Scrog What you think once i get my grow dialed in. what can i expect for yield. so if someone could tell me what would be a average yield for 250w be? a 100g or 300g??? thanks

there's to many factors to just tell you what kind of yield you will get. but i can tell you what i got and you can kinda of compare...bongsmilie from two(unknown strain) plants in 1.5 gallon pots i got 3 ounces dry weight, i used fox farm oceanic soil, i used fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom, i topped one plant, and i vegged for a month, and used my hps for veg and flower.

by the size of your box i would use the 250watt cuz the 400watt would burn it up in there!:fire: UNLESS! you have like an a/c unit running and good ventilation you'll be alright:hump:

your most likely gonna need to top and fimm and probably vegg longer than that to take a good amount of cuttings...
depending on the size of your plants and how many and your skills:hump: you can yield great amounts.. ive seen some people yield 5-8oz off a 250w in the right conditions..
im not sure on your space your dimensions got me confused? 2x3.5x5 is this what you mean? 400 will yield more but your gonna want something that fits your space due to heat...
4 nice sized plants under a 250w could get you 2oz-4oz easy...


this is all IMO..

yeah i kind of guest it would be difficult to say. just looking for a average yield for 250. my grow area is 2'Lx3.5'WX5'H. i might have to cut a hole in the side and run some duct work for a/c if decide on a 400w or they will probably catch fire. i just know 84 to112grams won't be enough. I was hoping for at least 100g more than that.
