Would you recommend 2 single 315's in a 4x4 vs the 630? Or should i stick with only 1 315?

well you could murder a 4x4 with two 315's. But one would do the trick.

4x4 is a weird shape to shove two 315's into but im sure you could make it work. if you could find a 3x6 area that would be great.
3 of them in a 4x4 space seems to work well. I guess if you are set on two lamps in a 4x4 i would think about the sun system commercial they put out a 2x4 foot print or so.
That fixture not available in 120v

Nanolux is available @ 120v. Im starting to relizeing that to run most other lights I'd also be needing a step down transfer.

I could find the 3x6 space if i could find a tent that was 3x6 or 4x6..
Im on a tight budget at the moment and the 630 is a little costly right now but the cost of 2 315's is slightly more..
so if i could get the pound i need off a single 315 and potentially get a secound later on....it would cost more in the long run but easyer to obtain starting point..... or jist night the bullet for 2 bulbs off the get go.... but then again. Same fixtre-horizontal bulbs-8"tall or 2 separate fixtures-vertical bulbs-13" tall.

1 lb is attainable but may be a struggle for some growers. If you have access to good yield genetics and know what you are doing you can hit 1 lb per lamp with the 315. i would get 1 315 and get it dial in well saving for another before buying a 630. that is just me

Im not in an area where i can just go buy quality genetics i would think that most everything i run is some where in the middle of the road when it comes to yield but i have hit a lb per lamp every run for the last few months. before that i was getting 12-14oz

when it comes to tents i dont think you will have much luck finding odd dimension tents. you could always get a bigger tent and fill it with lamps over time. you could do a 4x8 tent and only use 4x6. you could even get that panda/ orca film. That is just an option ot build a room to the dimensions that you need

I'm running 3x600 in a 8x12x7 room (center of room is offest 2.5'). Wonder how 4x 315s would fare next to my 3x600 runs? I do run ac, co2. I do pretty well, its dialed I n nicely. Cost of the lamps aren't that important, but not dropping 4k on lamps either. Was gonna swap the 3x600 for 3x1000 since winter is here. Free cold air.

Or drop 3 of these bulbs, source ballasts, use my current ac hoods setup

4 315s would destroy 3 600s IMO.

Would 3x315s be equal in yeild to 3x600? This way I wouldn't have to move my hoods around. Not hard anyways, but

Do equivalent watts of CMH run cooler than HPS or MH? Are three 315w CMH gonna put off the same heat as something like a single 1000w Gavita HPS.

I've been telling people to have 2,000btu of cooling for each 315 and that will cover any equipment in the room also (dehumidifier, pumps, co2 generator, ect).

Hmm. Maybe I'll scale it down to 12 4x4s with a Nanolux 630 over each. That footprint might be too large, but I've got access to a few discounted Nanolux 630s, that's largely why I'm considering them. That'd make life a lot easier.

Just remember when going from a 315 over a 3x3 to a 630 over a 4x4 that your loosing 2 square foot of growing space per 630 compared to 2 315s. (18 sq ft with 2 315s vs 16 sq ft with a single 630). Therefore if you wee changing the 315s for 630s, watt for watt,(which I can see that you are not) in that room you'd be loosing 20 sq ft of canopy area or 2.5lbs per harvest.

This is just a consideration to put into thought before buying the 630.
