NEED A 2nd OPINION ! 2x250HPS = X space - Anyone?

[luckychiken]

Hi.

Sorry it is the second thread about this.
( but in the first one I failed to upload my diagram right )

I need to have a few suggestions as to wich is the best space for growing with 2 HPS of 250 W each.
Please check my drawing and let me know your best choice. A, B, C, E, or D.

Thanks everyone

would probably go with A as per number of plants that can very alot depending on how you grow and how long you veg them, maybe 4-8 plants.

Like bejay said id choose A myself since its only 250 watt hps lights...but if your gonna grow more than 4-6 plants i would then go with C or D but personaly if i was going to grow more than 4-6 plants id uprgrade to a 400 watt hps.

2 x 250 watt HPS has more lumens than a 400 watt HPS, so i disagree with the above comment....

2 x 250 watt HPS lights will easily handle an area of 16 sq. feet - or 4 feet wide by 4 feet deep.

That equals enough light for 9-12 plants in 5-gallon buckets

Happy growing.

Yes but wat i meant by that is upgrade to 2 400 watt instead of 2 250 watt hps lights...and then id just use the 2 250 watt lights for veg with a mh conersion bulb....but yes ur above statement is correct 2 hps lights give more lumens then one 400 watt sorry for not making it clear that i meant to uprgrade to 2 400 watt lights

Hey THANKS EVERYONE !!!!!
I will start building up this weekend.
Very soon I would like to post the progress of this room and it´s habitants.

Does anyone recommends me to continue with this case in this thread ?
Or should I open a new thread for the process of growing ?
Well...I´m not much of a forum man as you all can see. But I will be.

Thanks again. You´ve been great. Let´s smoke great.

[letsburn06]

Hi smokers _::rasta:

Well. It´s been a long time since I last wrote.
This post will be to update. Another one for doubts.

I took me a while to build a decent place. Now is ready.
As you can see in the pictures the room is completed with the space you guys suggested. 1.2m x 1.2m for 4/5 plants.:thumbsup:

Now I have the lights hanging on the roof, I got 2 timers for them and I also got an humidifier (wich is not needed so far ), a humidimeter and termometer and a big fan to move the little plants a little bit-.:thumbsup:

So far I have used 4 seeds with success but after a short trip to the beach travelling with the plants I find a little accident and 2 of them are dead . We still have this 2.

1 - White Widow
1 - Blueberry

I made a little journal for the growing of this two. Please check the pictures.

I´m also making more plants now to fill up the space. Another Blueberry, The Church, and some other seeds.

Let me know if enyone sees something wrong in my setting so I can make improvements.

Thanks

Please read my next post with my doubts, and help make my babies gigantic.:rastasmoke:

Hi... This is to complete the other post. !

[luckychiken]

Hey . I´m finding my first grow problem that I cannot find the solution by reading.

My Blueberry is twisting, just a bit, but twisting.
She was place in soil 10 days ago on May 18th as another WhiteWidow I have. But this one is twisting.

I thought distance to lamps, I have 2 HPS x 250w and the plants are a little more than one feet from them. I think this is safe.

The temp does not raise 28 degrees as you can also see in the picture.

Now I´m trying shoting an humidifier in front of them to raise up the humidity in the leaves. � do not know how will it result.

Soil sometimes seems dry. But is only dry on top. And I water once or twice a day but not too much.

Well ..the thing is that I´m going to have total of 5 babies and I do not want to mess with all of them. Maybe only one is deform. Or maybe is some other thing.

Please help me I´m worried.

Thanks !
