250w HPS Your Yield??

From what Ive read the 600watts are just so much more efficient if you look at the lumens per watt ect. And they are the smallest size you can get great penetration of the light into the lower canapy.
I may upgrade to one in the future. I got a 250 because of space and heat issues. I ended up needing an AC for the 250 anyways so I should've just went with a 600 and a cool tube. Doh!

I've been offered a 600w free from my cousin but the only problem is where to put it. Id probably have to buy a grow tent.

Do any of you know anything about the sunburst 250 mh/hps with the 4" cooling fan option? That's the one I'm thinking about getting for my 2x2x4 tent. I would have to get a 4" Y connector to hook my inline fan up to the light and carbon filter later on.

After drying the second of two plants
grown under 250w hps
Final dry weight:
#1 mostly indica 2.6 oz. (Pictured in the jar)

#2 mostly sativa 3.5 oz (Pictured before final trim, stem removal, and curing)

6.1 oz total
Indica flowered for 12 weeks
Sativa flowered for 14 weeks

Both plants were trained to grow one even canopy. 2 gallon pot soil grow.

Here is my first plant (OG Kush) about 8 weeks into flowering it's about 3 ft tall from dirt to tip of main cola. 250w Lumatek. Any guesses to what it will yield?
No guess on the weight.
Damn nice looking plants though.
For 250w looks impressive for being 3'
Buds looking sweet.
Great job.

Don't now what the yield will be but with a plant like that it should be good.

Thanks a lot.
I use Fox Farms soil and nutrients, H2O2, and molasses.
Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom
Usually I just water in veg (short 3-4wk veg)
Once in 12/12
Half strength BB and TB for the first two weeks. Then the following:
Big Bloom every watering 4T/gal
H2O2 every watering 1T/gal
Tiger Bloom every other watering 2-3t/gal
Molasses every other watering 1-2T/gal
I don't start molasses until the buds
start to look more defined.
It varies when i start molasses wk 4-6ish of 12/12
I feed H2O2 and molasses right till the end, maybe plain water the very last watering.
I stop BB and TB 1-3 wks before harvest.
Depending on how my plants are doing around wk 5-7 of flower,
i'll mix in 1/2 strength Grow Big for an extra shot of nitrogen.

I water when my pots are nice and light as in
weight of the pots, as well as the perlite
under the soil dries out.
My room runs a bit warmer than ideal
thus the three to four days between waterings.

I have a fan in my my grow room that keeps it nice and cool yet i still have to water them every day.

Well, there ya go.
I grow in 2gal pots, and feed anywhere from 2-3L per plant.
So growing in 2 gallon pots under a 250w you get 2-3.5oz a plant? Do you only grow two plants at a time or is there room to fit more? I'm asking because I have 4 Plants in 1 gallons that I need to repot before flower and was wondering if I could fit all 4 in 2 gallons under a 250w hps
