Your 250W lamp is equivalent of 250W incandescent bulb. It's not putting out the same ammount of light as HPS/MH bulb of same wattage. It's also not consuming 250W actual watts of power.

I'm using cfl because it's cheaper for a low cost closet grow. Hps lights and all would've been too much.

There is nothing wrong with CFLs. All I wanted to say is in regard to g/W don't expect 250g even if you've done everything perfect because your light is not actually using 250W

Are u talking to me mate ??? Do I belive that they should have a flush in coco from time to time definitely without a doubt no where near as often as soil but still needs a little flush from time to time :)

i never flush coco with straight water until two weeks before chop, and even then,, i use water and enzymes to flush,, now when i accidentally burn a young vegging plant, i just water heavy with (half strength nutes) using about three time the amount of water to soil,, then i allow soil to dry out a bit and burned plants usually bounce right back to great health… but i was taught that you don't ever feed coco with just plain water,,, i tried it and it screwed every thing up and i had sub par results...
