Just threw an old 250w Philips 4000k CMH into tent with COBs and Board to reach for some uv and infrared. Hadn’t used for about 7 years but I do have 4 bulbs with zero hours. I put it at finishing end of my perpetual. Something is going on here!
Plants are stinking like hell and very much suddenly much stickier.

My Basils are loving it.

Everyone says different stuff. Can you get a pound off of a 315w cmh? I have alot of experience with hps. Im not worried about nutrient, genetics or any of that stuff. I've been growing 10 years. Im just worried about light coverage. In a 3x3 or 4x4 area will a cmh pull a pound easily or toughly.

Some girls right now under t5's getting mothered out. Just need to get lights for flowering now.

Using a pair of 315s in a 4x4.
Easy, with your experience.
They don't penetrate as well as hps.

I do coco. Here I start a run with 2 cmh.

Seven Sisters

These 'citigardens' reflectors are dreamy. Puts off a nice even gentle spread. Internal ballast. Opening sizes. 18 x 18 citigardens Replacing these. 11 x 13 neutrons - external ballast

That will work, old real hippie used restaurant sour cream containers with great success. Had a huge ac unit like it took up the back of the house.

Has anyone noticed less crystals on their plants from switching from double ended lights to cmh ? Or less crystals from switching from cmh to led ?

Hi everybody, I've been reading through this thread for days now, and I'm a bit confused. I'm in Canada, and I'm really considering buying a 315 bulb ballast combo, but apparently all ballasts don't run as well as others with the Philips bulbs? As far as I can tell, these Philips bulbs are far superior to any other? Anyway, thanks for reading. Any help is much appreciated.

Yeah that's a good distance for veg, I've noticed being to close in veg with the 315 makes the plant look like it has a cal/mag problem. Purpling of stems and droopy leaves.

What distance do you recommend for flowering ? I'm guessing the plants will be around 18 inches then ?

I'm considering a switch to LEC for my next grow. Currently I have two 600w HPS and four 200w COBs in a 4m² area. Wich should be better, to keep the two HPS and replace each COB with a 150w LEC (or two 315) or to replace everything with two 945w LECs and grow in a 3x1.5m area?

LECs are kind of a new thing where I live, not much options and they're heavily overpriced. A 315w with the ballast and hood costs maybe an average monthly salary, like four times the price of a 600w HPS kit. The 945w one I saw costed oddly about the same as an average 315w kit, this one:
