250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Are those topped?

I topped her once but mostly LSTd so I could get that nice even canopy.

Thats looking real nice.
planning on the same thing for mine, going to top some but not all to see which goes better. But going to tie it all down to get a nice level canopy..
Next grow I will try a ScrOG and see how that goes.

Thanks. My temps are manageable, yet high. I am 82 in the box, but with the fans blowing under the light its about 80, and thats a 12". I will probably start the next batch under the MH and see how it goes... Trial n error...
Didnt realize you could force them to not stretch by the lighting.. Good info..

When do you switch to the HPS? same time as the 12/12 or wait a week?

No problem, I switch to HPS when I switch to 12/12.

Oh and Racer, I'm telling.

DOOBIE!!!! Racer abandon us for a better lighting system.

I think he should be spanked and made to grow a 250 grow as funishment!

Lol I knew that was going to happen eventually.

I pic'd, you pic?

My temps are 86 almost constantly with all this hot weather.
It's a sealed closet, and I keep the door open for about 10-11 hours of the 12hr light period.
It's not my place so I can't simply cut a hole in the wall to vent out hot air.
I made my own cooltube that has a 4" inline fan push the air through, but the air just goes right back in the room. I wish someone made a tiny a/c but I can't find one.

Something like that would be awesome, but it runs on 2 D batteries. You need to buy a cord but I don't see it for sale anywhere.
I wonder how long the ice lasts, and if it would even put a dent in my heat issue.

Alternative?

LOL, not trying to be picky but that thing has some very poor reviews. Most say it doesn't work.
LOL, Any other ideas?

It needs to be small (remember i'm in a coat closet), and electric so i can run it off a timer.
GO! lol

I guess I'm gonna have to keep looking. That thing is large! I was hoping to find something that will sit up on a shelf at the top of my closet.
Not to mention that thing costs more than my entire grow op. I only need to cool about 50 cubic feet.

Thanks anyway, LOL I don't want to take up your entire sunday!

I keep getting directed to a USB personal air conditioner, if you want to replace an old outlet with one that has built in USB support I'd suggest this.

Welcome back Doob's! hope you got all your shit sorted

And if I go to a 250w LED can I still be part of the club lol.

Stay Frosty!

Of course you can

Did I see a couple recent posts by Doobious? She has been missed for sure.. get that area up and running Doob!!

This is my Jamaican Bud


These are my B-52s


Here is Kaya Gold


These are my bitch plants, also known as Lemon Skunk

Two are starting to show sex and the sex their showing me looks reminiscent of testiballs. I'm going to let them go for a week to fully develop the first signs of sex but I'm fairly sure 2 out of my three are boys.



I know this is a 250 club and I use a 250 for almost everything but I thought i'd show off my box with the stunted test plant in it. (Lemon Cunt...er...I mean Lemon Skunk.)



Surprisingly the stunted cunt is doing better.

My temps are finally back to normal and my plants show alot of heat stress.

Lets see your grows and plant pics.

Where are all the 250 growers at?

Stoned..... LOL....


Wondering what the general consensus is on topping plants here?
I read a few posts about it causing plants to herm, but is that just with feminized seeds? I use to do a bit of outdoor, and we always would top them.

Also, whats the average growth after you go to a 12/12? I know each plant is different, but generally is it around 12"?
