I was thinking of using a 250 hps for flowering. I was looking at 4-6 plants. I have unlimited space, so that would not be an issues. It can be a small grow room or a large grow room. With the 250 hpc i was looking at a small area. Any suggestions . Thanks.

Ya i would use the 250 for veg until u get a 600 or a 1000 for ur garden! you have to figure out wat ur trying to accomplish, and how much u are wanting to spend, put a plan together! how many plants are you wanting to grow?? a 250 watter wouldnt yield much imo! ur also gonna need a inline fan too though when going above 400 watts! good luck, check out craigslist they have cheap lights all the time

with the right genetics and a little scrog training you can yield 6 oz with a 250W being used through veg and flower.... my friend grows Romulan clones in a scrog setup in a 2' x 3' area and pulls right at 6 oz dried and cured every 13-14 weeks.... it takes him 3-4 to fill the canopy and 9-10 to flower....
not sure how much you're looking to get or how much you consume, but that amount seems to last between harvests for him.... he also uses a conversion bulb during vegging.... hope that helps a bit....
remember guys.... some people just don't have the capability of running the bigger wattage bulbs like some of enjoy.... gotta still try to help out the small setup personal growers....

A 250 watt light is good for 4 square ft, and still have 5000 lumens per ft2. this give you the best lighting per ft2. A plant per ft2 will be a dense canopybut by trimming a training your plants you can have as good a grow as any larger watt light system

Your buddy did better than me. I had a 300W scrog that only yielded 5.5 ozs (I was really happy with that until you mentioned your buddies grow...)

THG.... i credit his genetics.... even though it's Romulan, it seems his is a better yielder than the other's i've seen grown.... maybe he found the diamond in the rough....
and 5.5 is still a great yield of a small bulb.... i know people that could make that amount last 6 months.... myself not being one of them....

The 250 will produce about the same amount of light as my 2 x 150 setup, although my pair of lights no doubt gets better distribution. I find that's plenty for 4 plants or 5 smallish ones. I got just under 8 oz from my last Aurora grow from the 2 x 150, supplemented by 100W of CFL during flower. I think your 250 grow will be fine, especially if you hang a 30W CFL in each corner - with a cone reflector each, you can make the reflectors yourself - to fill in the dim parts.
