Wow. I haven't come on here for a few weeks but i finfished my white dwarves. the 12 incher had 24 grams dry on it (but i didn't flush and i picked early cuz i was out of weed and it was ahrsh as shit) and my 24 incher is still baking cut the shortest cola (ironically thats the main cola) let it dry for a while 10 grams and smooth as stripper booty. I have a purple kush flowering and a 6 site dwc that had all males which i'm cutting out and replacing with a hawaiian snow clone all by itself in 10 gall. so that should push the envelope. might cut more clones. WHat's the highest yiled someone has gottoen with a 250. i think i can pull of at the minimum 1/4 pound. once i get the strain i want. and white dwarf is the shit 5 gal no nutes and still got about an ounce a piece. i might just stick with them i can get a qp every month iif i make another tent. rollin up.....ill post pics tonight when i cut out the males.:joint::joint::joint: pass em around

2 to 2.5 zips per plant is easy enough. Gram per watt rule sort of goes like this. 250 x Newbie .7 competent grower - .9 and expert grower - 1.0-1.5. It also depend on the style of grow and strain yield.

What is the highest you have yielded, indica, sativa, ruderalis, mix?

So I've been using a 150 watt for my cab and I'm thinking of stepping up to a 250. How big of a difference would this really make? It's all for personal use so I'm not looking for giant yields here, I just want to make sure I'll have enough bud to last me until the next harvest. Here is my current 150 grow. Vegged for 25 days. All three ended up female so I'm running out of room. I just want to make sure the 250 would have a wider area of coverage because some of my tops are moving out of the coverage zone. What are typical yields you guys have had with the 250? Thank for the help.

I only had my 250 for about 3 months. before dat it was a 90w ufo a blue led shower head and 4 flouros. As u would imagine, there was a huge difference between 90w wit flouros and the 250. A white dwarf under the led gave me about 15 grams dries. the white dwarves i just finfished gave me close to an ounce. one a little over one a little under. ii would use both if u can control heat. i am trying to use a cab that i made but the led and that one flouro strip keep makinhg it over heat may need another outtake fan. I want to know how much someone gets from other strains under a 250w light

A 250 will cover a 3x3 area with about 3-4 ft of light penetration, 2-6 oz. per plant is round about what you're looking at yield wise. Of course depending on strain, medium, grow method and other factors.

Hope this helps.

I use the stealth hydro bubbleponics and I grow LSD and get somewhere close to 4oz per plant but I veg for 5 weeks and flower for 8. I grow two plants per grow. The bubblepons is on a shelf that is about 6" off the floor for air movement and the total grow area is 3x4'. I have a 250 as the primary light source and augment with 4 - 42 watt cfls. 2 - 6500k and 2 - 2700k. I use General Hydroponics Flora series nutes, a couple of additives and supercrop as needed. I have about 4' of grow space for the plants.

Well, I held out a little longer... didn't cut until last night. (Last post was 9/22).

I haven't weighed it yet, just going to let it dry first. Definitely will be over an ounce, though.







My roommate loves it... he better hope I share.

Thank you for the help. When I get some extra cash I plan on making a flower box with a 250 and keeping the 150 for a veg box. Get my perpetual grow on:mrgreen:

I was wondering if I get a Sunleaves DuraPump 950 if this would be too much air for 3 10 gallon tubs and 6 12" air stones? I would be putting 2 12" air stones per tub. I now have 2 whisper dual air pumps rated for 30-60 gallon tanks with 4 4" air stones. My plants are drooping and are getting brown spots in places on the leafs. I also noticed on one of the leafs there is light green lightning bolt going down the left side of the main vain. How would I fix this? I will try to put up some pictures soon. My computer crashed and need to restore it today.

That's not unusual as the plant get's close to the end of flower. If you have green leaves all the way through flower you are giving it way to much Nitrogen.

Take a look at the photos in my current flower grow. I'm about a week away from harvesting and they basically have no leaves left on them, their practically pure bud.
