I once setup a medical grow for a family member using a 250watt HPS.
2 75watt fluro tubes and a single 60 watt fluro tube were used for veg AND flower as well. (They just moved the fluros around during flower to hit dark spots of the plant) Branches were spread during growth (LST) using simple wire with hooks. Organic soil and general ferts were used.


Bagseed was used and the final yield was around 3 1/2 ounces from a single plant.

250 watters IMHO are great for small personal grows. Less heat to manage with and the yields can still be good if you have a half decent setup. If you're looking to yield around 2-4 ounces.....a 250watt is good, anything more and you might as well buy a 400 watt I'd imagine.

Mix in some fluros for better results with a 250 watt HPS.

And to think....I don't grow.
