Can you do a one plant grow with a 150 wt HPS?

Topic says it all,,,thanks for any info!

yes you can. the low wattage will limit your success as far as yield but it can be done.

Absolutely !

all mine were grown with a 150 w hps, though you might wanna start training her (L.S.T.) to stay short and bushy, as a 150 watt is limited how far light will penetrate plant/canopy

my Average 2-3oz per plant

If it were me I would build a scrog for the coverage and try to maximise your lights footprint over a lesser penetration distance.

At most a 1.5'x1.5' screen and train your plant through the netting while tucking new leader shoots to the next square.

A guy called LBH has a great SCROG tutorial guide. Search for it.

How close can he put his 150 watt HPS to his plants?

about 7" unless they are seedlings then about 10".

One plant no problem...well maybe one. If you run into problems and loose her....maybe two. JAS

Well consodering people say 50-100w per sqft..I think you'd be good with it just over 1 plant.

Thanks for the replies!!..great help. I'll give it a try. I do have a 1000wt MH but really don't want to fire that up this yr so I'm seeking on downscaling. I took a few clones of my Killer Skunk about a month ago and would like to see at least one grown indoors this yr. The local grow store is ordering a few of the 250 wt units from their catalog. Currently they are under florescent grow lights.

Why not use the fluorescent and 150 both for flowering?

Maybe add some CFLs for side lighting
