As long as you have good enough exhaust fan and few fans inside moving the air around you’ll be well away there are many bulbs and shade variations you can run with the 315 cdm have a look see which you prefer best bulb Philips hands down but there not on the pricey side

I have grown with all types of light and now use cobs and quantum boards the are fantastic light if you have experience with them. If not you can really mess things up if your not worried about heat and want consistent quality you will pull best figures and quality out of 315cdm light using Philips bulb.
any par maps on light coverage in 3x3 tent for 315 ?

I don’t know what kind of problems you’re talking about with leds but I can tell you that 2xcmh’s will most definitely have heat issues. I ran a 600w hps with a cool tube and it was too hot all the time.
Check Growmau5 on YouTube and watch the beginning series on leds.

We’re talking about 1 cmh not 2 and. Decent exhaust fan will deal with any heat issue you need to be an experienced grower to understand and use cobs or quantum I’ve been using cobs for last 4 years now when you get them dialled in there great but this person wants a good light that will give good results without any complications he don’t want to keep wasting his

Nitriant deficiency’s and comin light burn they will be inevitable if it’s first real go at decent led and therefore stress the plants

i know that a lot of people like to push led as they are a good light but the number o people that grow under them without experience end up with problems of light stress nute defiiciancies among utter things them at the end o the grow they don’t blame the led it is always something else’s fault! I’m a fan of cobs I use them myself but seriously the easies way to get good results I with bulb until you’ve got good few grows under you belt why make it hard for yourself if there is no need to ?

Great did you share a diary of your grow so we can show this guy some tips ?
He wasnt asking for tips. Read the thread title.
With a good balanced soil he wont have any of the problems you mentioned with led or any other light.

Are you trolling?

No i do not have a diary.

Seriously are you guys here to help o just say silly things the guy wants a decent yeild he already has a light and soil and has had misrible results the problem is his ligh is crap we established that so the suggestion was a light that is pretty much basic as the come and provides great soectrum I take it you’ve never grown under cmh/cdm ? I don’t know why this is becoming a complicated thread

Because that's how this board rolls. When it starts getting like this, and it seems to frequently, I lose interest. Sucks!

I disagree with both of those. I just started growing and disnt really have any trouble with either of those issues. As long as you know you need to watch out for a few things. Keeping your temps a bit higher. Make sure you are watching your light coverage, and supplament some calmag/feeding he will do fine.

You're offering shit advice. A 315 for a 2x4? Maybe if it's on a mover - you're gonna lose coverage on the ends. Unless you throw single cobs at each end of the tent.

Also, you keep talking about complications when it comes to LEDs. I don't know what you're talking about. it's a light source. Sure, LED grown plants require a bit more calcium, but outside of that or maybe growing in a really cold climate, I have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
