Lighting 250 hps ? lunems

[hazy daze]

high people. ive been growing for a couple of years now using cfl. i am thinking of upgrading to a duel spec 250w masterblaster hps.my Q is how many lunems does a 250 give off.and how many plants i can plant using this light.space is not an issue.and i have up to 365 watts of cfl to back this up.but i would like to know how many under the 250 alone? and how many with the cfl..?any ideas.thanks..hazy daze

youd be better off dropping the cfl and just buying 600w hps

a 250w hps will do enough plant to fit in a 2.5"x2.5" max 4 is an obvious number

thanks for your reply.so if i went for a 600w hps how many plants under this light would you recommend for optimum production...?? p.s. anyone want to buy some cfl,s..lol only kidding.:smelly:

is say depending on size 9-16

or what you can fit in a 3.75x3.75
or a 4x4 at a push

thanks mate.sounds good but i think 16 would be to much even for me to smoke until i crop again.lol seems like ill be looking at some 400w aswell.try and find a happy medium...:groupr i can get this little crowd to help me ... hazy daze

16 is based on small plants 9 would be larger strains
