Solartech reflector?

[ParkerD]

Hey guys, quick question about a reflector I came across. Looking to throw 2x 315w cmh in my 4x4. Came across these reflectors but can’t find any reviews on them.

Are these any good? $35 and free shipping is hard to look over, trying to get the best spread possible. Thanks!

I don't believe this will work with CMH bulbs.

It will with the adapter that screws into the hood. I was under the impression you could run a CMH in any hood with the adapter?

How long will your ballast cord be? There's issues of firing with these adapters using digital ballasts and longer cords.

Not sure about the cord length but I have 2 of these in order

No problem. That's a hell of a buy including bulb prices. Thanks for the link and good luck.

Thanks! Definitely a little spendy up front but from what I can tell I won’t be disappointed. Several unbiased studies showing higher yield as well as shorter flower times. I’ve been on the MH/HPS train for a bit but these have definitely peaked my interest.

Experience here from large scale professional growers was disappointing for total grows. One place swapped out all theirs and back to HPS. However their head grower uses CMH to veg and runs one next to his HPS in his flower room.

I believe this was due to significantly longer flower times under straight CMH.

As an aside all agreed they rock the production with a 315 pretty much equaling a 600 HPS. I want one.
