No....don't get a 250W HPS....it will do one plant...at best....poorly.

 

At a minimum a 315CMH for two plants in a 1x1 .....you can pick them up for pence second hand.....Just dont cheap out on the Bulb

Philips for the win

Although more expensive in the outlay initially I ran two 100W LED boards that could easily do 3 plants in a 4ftx2ft area. I tried four plants in 25l pots but I didn't see much difference in the final crop.

How the fuck did you get 0.29p a KWH ?.....do you know the CEO of E-on or something lollol 

 

I would have considered sexual favours to get it that low lollollollollol 

 

 

 

lol it's just how the sheet was structured .29p is 29p.

 

Edited the formulae, just for you :)

HTF did you get it that low lollollollol 

 

I think we pay like 40pence per KWH and I thought we got a sweet fixed deal....Im being shafted if you can get 29pence a KWH :ermm:

If you going to go HPs get an adjustable ballast. Can pick one up for next to nothing from the marketplace then you have the option to veg under 250 and flower under 400

 

I'd deffo be looking more into spending a little more on a led initially and saving on lecy

I dunno man, I used to grow 6 x C99 in a 2x3ft space with a converted 250w floodlight when I started here 20 odd years ago. I certainly wouldn't go back to that setup now but you'd be surprised what they're capable of!
