Honestly, I think 7 plants will be a couple to many im currently using my grow box it is 4x3x2 and my four girls are fighting for light also using a 250 watt HPS thats my opinion.. but hey with some hard core training and such it could be possible to achieve especially if doing a scrog..peace

i think you can do it and get a decent yield. just use everybit of you light,line the entire space with mylar from top to bottom,side to side. also have good ventilation and exhaust to keep the temps in the comfort zone around connopy level.goodluck!:bigjoint:
ps. best bet is a cooltube,dosnt take half as much space as a vented hood and is the best way to keep the temp under controle

currently growin 6 in lst under 250 watt and 6 42 watt cfl's and i think i'm gonna pull it off. 4 blue cheese, 1 northen lights ,and 1 skunk#1 and indica mix..we call it 50/50..i'm in week 5 of veg from clone..and about to turn therm over on 12/12 this weekend..so far about half my area is completly filled..i'm gonna veg til weekend then switch them over..I think i'm looking at 30-35 tops atleast..as long as i can keep everything in an even canapopy over my 3x3 space i think i'll be fine..shooting for 1/2 pound but 7 oz i'll be happy...the only problem i'm having is the northern lights and the 50/50 are growing at a much faster rate and they are towering my blue cheese..they are a much thicker bushier plant and the cheese is more scrawny,but for some reason it flowers unbelievable...so i would not do anymore obviously then what your doing..but in my personal opinion i think 3-4 plants lst is ideal for 250 watt in a 3x3 area...i'll see after this grow if 6 is worth it..hopefully pics soon..my digital camera is on ther fritz gotta borrow one..peace:lol:

Is anybody using a 250w CMH? How do they preform?

Also is anybody keeping a mother under a 250w?

Hi there I know of 1 dude who swers by CMH, it's just that it's relatively new and not as strait forward as HPS , but yes good results although he has added HPS with his CMH:blsmoke:I guess try it and see.

they are some nice looking plants cali for sure..
as for the cmh, everything i have heard about them is that they are great bulbs to work with.. i have read a lot about them, and the general concensus is that they are good bulbs..
it sure is great to see this thread going strong as ever, i am sure wretched and doobieous and mind are all very proud of what they have done here, it looks like the 250 club is still what it was mean to be.. a drama free home for people who grow with two fifry's..
that sucks to hear about the drama wretched... i hope it all works out for you though..

So I fucked up my first indoor grow, and it was this indonesian bat guano. It made my leaves yellow and fried . Its the lower fan leaves first. Some get brittle and some get weak and fall off easy. But the lower bud leaves seem great. At the end of my first grow I tried all kinds of stupid shit to save them and of course killed them. My next batch I used it on some, but I finally was sure it was that so I stopped like a month ago. Theyve been coming along, Just a tester crop of this purple indica I flowered under CFLs with LST training.

I was using promix, Im gonna go back to supersoil from now on. I used organics and natural nutes from the nursery. No cannabis specifics. I went light on everything, added some organic granular fert to the soil, had the good microbes in it, used fish emulsion, and a little molasses, and a micro nute blend in my water. During bloom a 0-10-10 liquid. And Ive given a little epsom salts.

Im wondering if they need iron real bad for some reason? Some of the leaves turn white almost. I watered well and fed with a mild solution of everything a week or two ago. They were looking better. So a few days ago I gave another good water and fed with some more fish emulsion. Normally I dont give any N during bloom and all my leaves stay green growing outdoor in pots.

Anyway they are looking worse. The leaves are curling at the tips like the fish emulsion burned them even tho theyre still yellow, and frying more. Also getting way more chlorotic.

FUCK! they were finally turning purple Im 6 weeks in!!!

wow how much you think you got. I always get around an ounce. My last lowriders didnt auto flower. they cam from seeds that i had breeded. now one is huge because i put one in 12/12early and one a few weeks later. hoping to pull 3 zones off of the big one. Has this happened to anyone: make a seed run with Joint dr. lowryder mix and results aren't autoflower. And every seed i have planted is a female. The last two are hermies and they autoflowered probably because of the smaller pot (2l soda bottles). but the male i used had no female flowers? anyone
my light comes on at night and i am always blowed so hopefully i remember to post pics. old pics (1st) from left to right; autoflower that didnt flower in veg and vegged for about 2 mos, (middle) pure kush my homeboi gave me a clone of that was a seed from my other homie who had lucked out goin to cali and working for a friend of eddy lepp (pure kush) smells like fuel and rubber i think (last) low ryder that went into 12/12/ 1st cloned both autos and was successful (still vegging) might not have the auto gene anymore i guess.

does anyone have info on the pure kush from northern cali? My homie grew it outside there but all the tips he gives me are basically for growing outside (like taking off leaves when you cant see into a plant for production
