We did get a rebate, but far from the majority of the cost. But the rebate brought the price down to a reasonable level for sure.

Thought it was like 4 bills a light, maybe there's a maximum number you can actually claim. But at 4 bills a light and the amount you purchased you'd think that would be the majority of cost for lights.

If it was 4 bills a light they would have been buying them for us, yup... I don't know the exact number, but closer to 20-30% rebate.

Honestly? The owner had already bought them when I was hired... That being said I do like the simplicity and the light spread off of them. All I was really concerned about was that they were 315s at the time I was hired to run the op.

I had limited experience with the 315s before i quit working for the hydro shop. Do they actually perform as well as they claim? Most other cmh's ive had experience with could only follow through on quality but lacked far too much yield to make the compromise.

315s out yield everything else at less wattage if used correctly.

I used 860 watt cmhs for a while. Nice spectrum, not much punch though. Probably the magnetic ballast required to fire them is my theory on poor performance, though I have no idea if that's fact.

Would you get tighter stacked nodes and less stretch if the 315s were closer? Your plants look so healthy the way yr running em now. Would they not be as healthy w the lights closer? For some reason im yet to fig out, my plants seem to get rootbound really fast if i have the lights real close. Im in soil now but never had this prob in dwc hydro. My plants do awesome for 7-10days after transplant then slowly start to decline until i transplant again. Not sure what this is all abt lol im new to soil

If these lights get closer than 3 feet it actually slows growth.
