HPS?

[invision]

i dont understand how can people flower with cfl....it would take 6, 1k lumas (spelling?) to equal one hps.....n i see people flower 4-5 plant with though.....soo shouldnt i be able to flower 4-5 with a 70wat hps?

thats because people are greedy and flower more plants than the lights can handle, 2 plants max and flower at 2 weeks

that's really anemic. i was only going to flower two under a 250w hps, maybe three

250w hps gives 29000 lumens

[Mr.Blue]

anemic what does that mean, the definition i got wat, The condition of having less than the normal number of red blood cells or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. The oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is, therefore, decreased....

and if that is correct that doesnt scince

[Mr.Blue]

aswell it says in many other post that all u need is 2k lumas....sooo flowering under a 250watt light seem overkill is it not?

[whitestalkslongwalks]

anemic, can be used to mean "not enough", "weak"

2k lumens is enough? where are you getting this? the 250w hps will have 29k lumens, and around here that would be considered pretty light (light as in "not heavy")

anyway, just know what you're getting into, and what you want to get out. hell, you can grow some weed under a single 26w cfl. it won't die. you'll get a couple bong rips from it

really, though, you're numbers are out there me-thinks. and it's not so much a question of whether you flower 2 or 8 plants under a 250w hps, it depends on how you grow them, and how big you're growing them (how much you let them veg first)

do you want to top? lst? scrog? sog? etc. etc.

let's put it this way: i had to fight folks here for them to let me get anything below 400w hps


good luck, and screwing up yourself is the best medicine. hell, get some bagseed and a dixie cup, fill it with yard dirt, put it under an incandescent and see what happens learning is what it's all about, and it only happens through experience, which is why you shouldn't listen to anything i say

[Mr.Blue]
