I have the 2 original CFLs that came with it - 1450 lumens 26 watts each
I added 3 CFLs on the sides, and they are - 550 lumens 9 watts 2700k
And of course, the baby HPS in the hood too - 2250 lumens 35 watts 1900k


I am running the reflector hood at it's lowest setting, which puts the 35 watt HPS a mere 3 INCHES from the plant, without burns or adverse reactions so far...

The CFLs on the side are also almost touching the plants, again without burns...

So I know that my garden is small, but there is no reason for me to not have some decent buds out of it...
If I get 7 to 10g out of each plant, I will be happy, but I would like it to be QUALITY smoke...

I was advised to switch everything over to a 250Watt HPS in a cool tube...

I was thinking more in the lines of an additional 50 watt HPS, maybe a 70 watt HPS.... but 250...??!?!?!?

Seems a little much, though I have no doubt it would work... especially with a cool tube....

Well what do you guys think...?

I agree with the person that said "one wire, no mess"....

As for size, my smallest plant is 1 1/2 inches tall by 3 inches wide...
The biggest is 4 inches tall by 6 inches wide...
Keep in mind that I have been LST'ing the from early...
And they have been flowering for almost 2 weeks now...

So... tell me what you think...

Gypsy...
Funny how time goes by....

That is my own post... and here we are...

I am sitting in front of a home made 36x20x60 powered by a cool tubed 600 watt HPS...lol.... far cry from the CFLs...lol...

I also harvested that AG grow... 4 clones added up to 1.2oz dry... (not with the 600...)

Check my thread for lots of pictures...

Cheers guys...

hey those are some pretty decent nugs considering its from an aerogarden. When i first entertained the idea of growing bud i thought an aerogarden would be ideal but i didnt know how much of a yield i could get... guess thats my answer.
ANyways nice job with that.

And your new tent looks real nice. Good luck.

Has anyone used a Sun System 250 watt hps? I am going to start my first grow in January and I am still deciding on lighting. I have a medical card and I can have 3 plants in flower and 3 in veg at any time. I am going to build 2 seperate "cabinets" for flower/veg. I am only focused on the veg cabinet now, until I get this figured out a lil better. I don't need to worry too much about stealth. I have a note from the doc. I am going to buy a cabinet/locker of some sort from a hardware store. I'm lookin at approx. 30inches by 24inches, 18inches by 36inches, or something close that fits my budget. I can only have 3 plants in veg at one time so I dont need much space. Height is not an issue. I have approx 6 and a half vertical feet to work with.
My main questions are...
1.Is the Sun System 250watt HPS gonna be too hot in there? It has the ballast and light build into one piece. I understand I need to ventilate. I intend to use a 4inch in-line duct fan to suck air from the light, one more intake fan, a circulation fan and a few air holes. The Light also has a glass pane between the light and plants to keep the heat confined.

2. Is the 250 watt light over kill for this space? Would the 150watt version be easier to cool and still provide enough lumens for 3 plants without adding cfl's?
If I need to add cfl's Im gonna stick with a 250w light.

Any help will be appreciated. I am very new at this!

Thanks for your patience and help new friends!

Irie Rasta!

quality is mostly determined by genetics. Of course only a good environment can push the plant to its full potential but I think yield is mostly going to be determined by more/better lighting. I think if get nutrients maxed and light spectrum is the best it can be, a smaller light will produce nice dank bud, just not as much.
