My growing enviroment has a 250watt HPS (and the whole room covered in aluminum foil) the plants will probably grow a maxiumum of 2 feet in there. I got two questions..

1) Is this a good enviroment which will give me some buitiful buds? and..

2) How many plants do you think I can grow in here?

Thanks,

a 250 hps is good but to maximize your overall results you would need some fluoros in there with the hps

a 250 hps would cover a 3x3 grow area.

Why not 3 feet? I've noticed that a lot of people here like to concentrate on the flowering cycle as being the most important, but I've learned that the flowering cycle is one of the easiest to perfect and the the veg cycle is ignored because of the fact that the flowers are the main reason for growing. You'll get a lot more bud if you wait a while longer and grow them to 2 feet before you swich to 12/12.

1) Is this a good enviroment which will give me some buitiful buds? and..

Sound like it! Is the room clean? Do you have a ventilation system?

2) How many plants do you think I can grow in here?

a 2.5 X 2.5 grow area should get you 40 watts per square foot. If you're growing with seed, try to get about 1.3 plants per foot˛. Then be prepared to chuck all the males once the preflowers come in and the room starts getting clogged with plants.
