I've been googling all different kinds of combinations of 250w hid/hps weed/marijuana/cannabis/ grow/journal closet/cabinet blah blah blah. And yet I have hardly found good complete journals of decent grows and setups with a 250w light. I'm posting this thread hoping someone has a link, or has a grower's name i can search, so that I can see good work being done with a 250 in a relatively small space. I think there's more information hidden in good grow journals than anywhere else. So if you know where I can see someone taking full advantage of there 250, point it out please.

I know itz kinda offpoint, but I use three 250W HPS and one 400W MH in my closet, and find that having more lower wattage lamps spread out over the canopy is way better than when I had just one 1K dual-arc lamp in there... So, there's a lil testimony to the mighty 250's, even though I use more than one... My closet is on my profile if any1 wants to check it out, although Idk if I have any good shots of the lamps, as I was more focused on showing what the lamps r growing...lol...

The majority of my growing 3 years ish has been done with a 250 watt hps and I love that light, I used a 400 when I had more space for 2 grows and would again but I do not have the space at the minute. My current setup is a 2.5 x 2ft wardrobe spilt in half horizontally for my veg room beneath with a 150watt CFL this leaves me about 3.5ft of vertical space for my plants in there 3 gallon pots my light and my inlinefan and carbon filter I have go lst my plants heavily throughout my plants life as they cannot get taller than 2 and 3 quarter feet high I harvest every 3 weeks and harvest around 65 grams of dry cured bud per plant and then replace it with a clone or seedling from the veg room that have been veging for about 3 or 4 weeks usually, been working on this setup a while and am happy with the results now although not a gram per watt I think that's nigh on impossible I will post pics when I harvest a blue mistic from royal queen in a couple of weeks if you would care to see them

i dont think 1 gram per watt is imposible just maybe not for your setup as you have space restrictions, have you tried ScROG method?

I did a scrog once with 3 plants and got about 2oz per plant on that grow like it but with a hardcore lst I think the results are as good or better and it makes life so much easier when your plants arnt mashed into a screen. Also impractical to try and grow perpetually as I do with a scrog in place and I think perpetual is the way to get the most from the 250 as the younger flowering plants do not take up as much space as the longest flowering plant creating a much better spread of light for the plants I have found over past grows where all my adult plants started 12/12 at the same time

Im running 1,150 W of mixed HPS and MH, and I got .91 gr per watt last time, and this time I've added co2, so, I'll be willin ta bet mines over a gr per watt... We'll see in a few more weeks... So far, itz lookin like we will have a winner! I'm in a 4' X 2' closet with super cropped plants that r massive, and I dont use a ScrOG or SOG system...
