My first grow, and I went with a phantom II 315w and a phillips master 3100k. The plants are doing awesome and I barely understand what I am doing. Learning quick though

Sweet, good luck and happy growing, what strains you running?My first grow, and I went with a phantom II 315w and a phillips master 3100k. The plants are doing awesome and I barely understand what I am doing. Learning quick though

Will two - 315 watts = a 1000 watt HPS? How much cooler versus HPS?

About a third cooler, perhaps half.

lol this kid still doesn't understand basic physics. Always giving advice about stuff he is clueless about.
Two 315W CMH will produce 630w of heat, which is about 2150 BTU/hr

A 1000w HPS produces about 3412 BTU/hr

Double check your math because the numbers you provided prove his point.
2275 is 2/3rds of 3412
2150 is the BTU/hr output from two 315w LEC according to you
That's pretty fucking close.

Isn't that about a third, 63%
I find that my two stacked 315's vertical is only a little bit hotter in the tent than the 400 hps I was running.
The 400W's temp range was 77 to 81 degrees F
The two 315's temp range is 78 to 82 degrees F
That is the averages of the lamps over a 24 hr period, outside temps have minor effect.

He didnt provide numbers he just gave a blanket statement like he always does, he doesn't understand the basic math behind it at all, just randomly guesses, it's his standard operating procedure, just blab out the first thought that comes to his mind with no evidence or sources to cite. That's why he said "perhaps half" cause he didn't know he's just guessing like he does , similar to how he says LEDs are the best ever and nothing can compete but he has zero sources to backup his arguments. When i say something you best believe i got facts to back it up.

He sure always does that and pretends to sound like he did some research. But you are still not taking in to account the efficiency of the lamp.
More light per watt less heat per watt. It will burn off as one or the other.

Nah that's not really how it works, all light produces nearly the same output of heat, 600w of hps = 600w of led = 600w of cmh , read this thread it explains it much better than i can.

Source cited, or not, he was right. I'm no fan of ttystikk, there's plenty of proof of that in this thread, but he was correct on this occasion. Even a broken watch is right twice a day.

I wouldn't rely on him being right ever, but you are very right.

Ok do you guys top all plants? Or strain dependent?

I mostly bend the main stem and tie it down to promote branching without removing anything
That way the plant never stops growing.

Day 2, Monday 6/5, 12/12 Generative Period of 2 to 3 for stretch and bud formation.
Fabulous growth now, drinking a lot.
The defo I did on Wed. is filled in and we are started flower on Sat. night.
This morning I pull the ladies out of the tent for some pics and a little cleanup of the tray. After putting the plants back into the tent I began a rez empting flush. There was about 12 gallons left in both rez's and I ran the drip till they were empty. Then did a cleaning of both upper and lower rez's, mild clorox solution and a thorough triple rinse. I am very impressed with the EC and pH of the rinsate that passed through they pots and into the catch container, 1.15 EC and 5.69 pH, final reading before dumping .
Nute solution back in the rez's at 1.3 EC and pH of 5.79.
The ladies are resting now as I am running my lights from 10 PM to 10 AM, may adjust that as summer rears its hot ugly self.
The Harem
The ladies on parade
Lining up to get to that wonderful light
Now goodnight Ladies!
I do like the stacked 315's, but the plants are growing so fast that last night a few leaves got to close to the lamp. Tied everything back again today and removed a few fans.

Sorry for the poor pics. This is pretty much the size of my buds throughout my kings kush and black dog. Start of week 5 of flower. Am I crazy but are these not gonna get any bigger? They just don't seem to be packing any size on. Ive had issues throughout with KK but the black dog seemed solid.
Should I just set my 600w HPS at the top of the tent and blast them with some photons?
