SOG with 250w HPS?

[BigHit]

Hey people!

I'm planning to grow as much plant's as possible with 250w HPS.

How many plant's i should grow same time?

I'm planning to get yield every three week's.

my grow space is about for 10 plants at same time, but is 250w HPS good enough to 10 plant's?

Sorry my bad english..

Peace.

3 sq ft? thats about 83 1/3 watts/square foot - wonderful!

What are the dimensions of the space?

Maybe 20oz -> 1L bottles for containers?

Sorry i said wrong

My brain's are not working very good right now.

room space is about 3ft x 3ft.

now i have there just 2 plants in blooming and 70wHPS. I don't have active carbon filter and this is stealth project, so i can't grow world's biggest jungle in there. i think how many i dare grow.

depends on the size pot you use.
for bigger plants you need bigger pots.

good luck!

a 250 hung vertically should give u roughly 4 sides with about 3 by 3ft of solid lumen rich space to work with, you should be pulling well over a half pound with a 250 if u know what your doing in this style of growing.

horizontal id say you should expect 3by3 to be lite up very nice but 4 by 4 shouldnt be too bad either.

Thank's for replie's!

After christmas i can finally get this light.

Yes i think i know what i'm doing, if everything goe's right.

Now i have 2 plant's in blooming, and couple clone's rooting. I make mother plant one of the clone's. Then my project can start.

If i get half pound some day, my dream's coming true. hehheh

If your space is a 3x3 I would suggest 36 6 inch square pots, veg 10 days and flip those bitches. Try to get an aircooled 400w or 600w over that space and you're looking at 12oz with a 400 or over a pound with a 600 if done right. I wouldn't run a 250 over anything bigger than 2x3 at the very most unless you like wispy buds, trust me I started out with a 250w. I kept my plants in a 1.5x2.5 footprint with a 250. Get atleast a 400w for a 3x3, I promise it will be worth the extra money in the long run.

 

[BigHit]

I have 250w allready, so i'm not gonna buy 400w anymore.

and i'm gonna grow just 10 - 20 plant's at the same time, so i don't need bigger than 250w.

Go for a 2x2.5 footprint with 20 6'' pots for a 250 and you'll be quite happy with the results.
