250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Hey all... just realized that i have major problem with this closet setup...
all the upper part of this plant got yellow before a week.
do you think the lamp is too close to the plants? the temp around 27C and once we got the plant out of the autopot system it growing green.

what is your diagnosis ?

More N, more N
don't worry about being in flower you need your plants to live.
Right? They need to be nice and green. It looks like you're still
in early flower when they need the most nitrogen (for flower)
right now (to me it looks like) your plants still are still trying to
grow and stretch so this is when they need the most N in flower.
Me I like to keep mine nice and green all the way to the last day.
Shit I don't even flush. But that's another topic I know sorry

Hey, thank for the help.
but i didn't understood well what is your suggestion. Ive been using Flora GHE 3pack GRO, MICRO AND BLOOM. during the whole time.
So i'm not sure they need more N, but i'm not sure what is the problem as well...

thanks again.

Oh its ok buddy. Just trying to help

sorry lights on.

Hey guys, just wondering. What is the heat output on a 250w hps? It's something I've been looking into for a while now but I can't seem to find anything that I'm looking for.

Secondly, would a 250w HPS be ok for a closet with no extraction fan? I'm unable to modify like that, otherwise I would.
The dimensions of the closet are 5.5ft tall, 3.5ft deep and 2.5ft wide.

Thanks.

the heat is not really that bad at all. i did 42w cfls, then 150hps mag ballast then 250hps e ballast. out of those lights the 150hps puts out the most heat.at least from my exp.
is the closet going to be closed? if so id say no. if you can leave the door open you will be fine.

Great thread guys. Those 250's kick ass. I love the results you all are getting. Impressive as hell.

Yeah I could leave the door open during lights on, although I'd prefer no to personally. The closet I'm using is in the spare bedroom which is now converted into my computer room, the window on my right is an excellent source of light leaking, both in and out. So as you can imagine, I don't want to leave the door open and have a massive orange glow coming from that room when you look from the outside lol.

Maybe just get one with the cool tube, and the duct running out the closet door. You could have the door pretty much closed.

I'm not sure, with a cooltube it's double the price. Funds is something I am limited on at this moment in time.

Cool. Did you root prune?

I wonder if it might benefit the plant, given how massed and wound those
outer roots are.

Good work.

Yup always do
cur right down the middle
only on two side though

Fucking PURE AK "female" seeds hermi'd on me.
Open the tent this morning and was looking at the
buds an seen the the lil yellow shit sticking out the
buds so I cut the shit down. And they look like they
still had about a week to go to. I'm use a sealed tent
so I don't have any light leaks.
ill post pics later.

Hey guys, i have a 250w hps

I am trying to decide what the best way to train plants was for this wattage, I am trying to decide between scrog or mainlining?

Anyone have experiance with these ? and suggestions are welcome

Both are effective training methods. I haven't tried a mainline yet but I like a scrog for a 250 because it helps to maximize the low penetration of light. With a fan blowing between the canopy and light I keep mine 5 inches away.

Here is my current 250w 3 plant scrog. Strains are Blackjack, Blueberry and one unknown I am trying to figure out.

Damn Ace seems like that pure AK has given you some problems. Not one you'd recommend hey.
