250w HPS enough?
    #5331842 - 02/23/06 02:02 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

So i've been doing my research, and I'm going to grow two small plants. I'm going to induce flowering when they're about 18 inches high. Will a 250 watt HPS bulb be enough wattage for these two plants?

Cheers

I've got a 400 hps and I wish I would have gotten something bigger.

But if I was using a cabinet or other enclosed space that would be a different story.

You should look at the size space your going to grow in using a 250watt and put as many plants in there as can fit,bud them small in a sea of green fashion,you should make the most of your effort,time and space.

250HPS will actually draw roughly 300W


@18Cents per kWH

{[300W*18(Hours)]* 30(days)}* $0.18 = roughly $19.44 per month

Depends on the strain but if they are 18 inches tall now then no it won't be enough.

Put it this way. This put into flowering the same day that pic was taken turns into one of these . Most likely those plants will be close to 4 feet tall by the time they finish flowering. The bottom buds are gonna be small and airy.
