I suppose it could depend on a lot of things. How "dialed-in" was your first grow? Are you using the same strain? Are the temps going to get worse, now that summer is fast approaching? There's a lot of variables. I don't think just switching from horizontal to vertical will make that much of a noticeable difference, or everyone would be doing it. That said, I'm also planning on a vertical grow of my own with a 250w HPS. It seems the majority of vert grows are larger, multi-bulb operations. I think there is still a lot to be learned about smaller grows and maximizing your efficiency. I hope I helped at least a little bit. Stay safe!

i don't think you could get 8 ounces from a single 250. maybe from a 400. sorry, i know that's not what you wanted to hear. maybe after a few runs with the right strain and high plant #s you could it.

6 is good why ponder the switch with such success?

give us some more incite to your setup to see if it is possible.

not really u said nothing. lol

You're a douche, it'd be better if you didn't join this club :moon:

everything guy said above is something you should take in to consideration. if you're bothering to ask people online how much YOUR grow that we have little detail on and no photos of will yield, then you need to hear what he said- they're important things to keep in mind for a noob that landed 6 oz of larf.

this needs to be requote,


it said everything you needed to know, it also explained how much you can get from a 250, all you have to do is read it slowly, over and over again ... you might get it ;)

cheers

you might want to run your bulb vertical for a few harvest to get the hang of vertical growing, its a bit different then horizontal.... once you're done with that and not happy with the result then come and ask us :):)

im not convinced that going vert is your answer. still plenty of room for improvement in your horizontal grow. i get 10 oz easily from a horizontal 250 and could get even more if i ran commercial strains. its all about canopy management. pack those buds in.

p.s. read the second post again - all good info ;)

its only just over a gram per watt. you still get the same amount of light out of the lamp whether its vert or horizontal - you've just got to make sure that you use it all.

Room for improvement in his horizontal grow? Sure. But why not make some major improvements by going vert? :)

Yield is dependent on the environment, and light is only one of those factors. Your question can't be answered.

You may want to make up your mind.
Here's a post from you last week.
yeah i pretty much never run horizontal, total waste of light, thx guys.

So you almost never run horizontal but you're asking about running vertical?

You must have those mystical bulbs that operate in the fourth dimension.
 
thanks verdant for the advice, iim gonna pm you some more questions, , also a few new ignore lister for me to welcome to the club VAtransplant and redspagehtti :moon:. :wave: , ciao.
 
that troll is already on my ignore list, i luv how u guys have time for comments that have no value. :moon: jee i wonder if i ran v scrogs in the past and if i used differant wattages????? just choices, just options trolls.

i can see why you didnt give me advice mrktwiz on stadium/vert growing, i just saw your popcorn masterpiece theatre in your albums- bravo

before you start calling people trolls and telling them they grow shit you should delete all your silly posts... im sure you got rid of pics though since ive seen your masterpieces...

if your veg room isnt completely dark at night but dam close is this cause hermies as well? say your girls get a little light on them here or there, should i worry

thank for checking my post, heres my plans

1. lights 400hps + about 60 watts of 6400 cfls (theese are for blue light n not to increase yeild so much)

2. 3 gallon containers
3. Northern light seeds (ten) feminized

4. veg=about 2 months

5. medium=mostly peat, perlite n some castings.

ive got a great green thumb but know the game is largely played with lumens.

but haveing such a long veg im wondering if i could pull say ten ounces.

whats your thoughts, i saw one guy on the ic pull one pound of one chronic plant vegged for one month under a 400 light, he had it really dialed in though. thx one an all for any insight u might have to share with me.


looking for big yeild n strong stone, cant waist time on reg seeds only allowed 12, what would u run that would yeild plus not come out like shawg auto hay?

mi5
onyx
maxi gom?????


no sour 60 please, it doesnt come in fem.
