How many plants?

I flower 2 plants at a time under 250w
As well as lst them.

I picked up a 250 watter back in february and am about 3 weeks shy of my first harvest with it. I have three plants currently and its lookin like i'll pull about 1.5 ounces per plant. There is a link to my journal below, lots of pics. But to tell you the truth I kinda wish I woulda just got a 400 watt light. Considering the upgrade still.

last grow was a 250 watt hps...had 2 plants under it one plant was about 2 ft tall and another was maybe 2 1/2 feet...in i believe 2 gal or 3 gal buckets ended up with about a 4 zips/ got a 400 watt in there now with 4 plants...heh harvest is coming soon to haha!

i get 2 to 6 zips every month i do the prepo harvest just one 250whps

prepo harvest?

I get 1-1.5 oz per plant, per harvest (every 10 weeks!), flowering 2-3 at a time in my closet.

Sigh.. Maybe I should have gone with the 400w.. too late now. I got my 250w hps 2 weeks ago and i'm hoping for a decent yield

I was thinking the same thing. Got the 250w now i wish i had just bought a 400w

you can still get the 400 later on just experiment for now get your technic going and dialed in as some say and then when you get a 4 6 10 hundred watt r at least you will be confident and know what goes on. patients is a virtue gud luck i was luck picked up a used 400w er for 100$ bulb and everything but now its time to move on up to 6er take care

LOL fanx for teliin me man i was baffled, i only no oz's and g's lol how did an oz end up bein called a zip? or is it like an american slang or sumin lol

I have been using a 250w hps for like 2 years now and i love it, got a dual spect bulb in it too. I have no choice but to use a 250w hps because i have limited space but its perfect considering heat/light intensity and cost to run. I usually pull around 1 and a half oz off my auto's, really dense nugs aswell lol, i dont have a cool tube (yet!) but i do have a seperate clip on fan aiming at the bulb and an exhaust.

im using a 250 w with 2 under it, and there in bud now. getin about an oz a plant hopfully.
