250w was just wondering if was to close any response appreciated

Looks fine to me....you might want to tie on to the top of that plant and start to bend her over.you will see big difference in growth from under

 

[Lw1]

Ok and when you say bend over do you mean tie the hole plant down or ?

If you look in the tutorial section you will find some simple, effective plant training methods. Highly recommended.

 

[Green75]

Yes till you fear it might snap....little more each day till under plant is open

 

[Lw1]

Ok will do thanks for the info and ya will take a look at training methods thanks for help much appreciated

 

[Green75]

That's why we are all here...to help each other....and hopefully get some help along the way

 

[Lw1]

Ya man website is a life saver with everyone's knowledge and just one other question What sort of yield do you think I will get of this size plant ?

 

[Green75]

If you keep it the way it is now with no training maybe an ounce...hard to say how big that top Will get by itself.

So....train it right away = more bud

 

[Lw1]

Yes will have to make sure I train it right hopefully will help it

I agree with the others that your plant and setup looks good, and I also agree that training makes a huge difference in yields! Here's some more info about training if you're interested in learning more

With a 250W HPS, it's good to keep the light a little less than a foot away (as long as it's not too hot). From the picture it looks like you're a good distance away. If you put your hand where the top of the plant is for 30 seconds and it feels okay to you, it's probably okay for your plant

Ok if the plant is in week two of flowering is it still ok to bend at main stem or is it to late ?

 

[Green75]

No..go ahead and do it now

 

[Lw1]

Ok thanks will do it when lights come on thanks for all the help

You can bend them anytime you need to reduce the hight of the plant.

At some point in this growing thing we do, we will eventually all get one of those laser thermometers. They are getting cheaper now and I got one at Harbor Freight (with a coupon) for $29 U.S. I think it was I have not used it yet for growing, but after burning some of my plants last season I expect this to be a good tool for setting light distance.

I got mine on Amazon $6.21 and free shipping! Same model HF sells too.
