Club 315w lec

So it's just about equal price to outfit this room with 12 - 630w CMHs in 4x4 vs 20 - 315w CMHs in 3x3. The 630w variation would technically get me 12sqft more canopy and around 1000w more overall, but go over the recommended 3x3 footprint with potentially more light crossover. The 315w variation is the exact opposite. Do you guys think at this point it's nitpicking and both would yield similar overall results?

I really feel that you would do way better with 20 315's over 12 630's. light will be more evenly distributed and i believe yield will be much better.
I think if you set up a room with either light you will do very well. You will never regret moving to LEC

what i am noticing under my 630s is slightly denser nugs wih closer noding, compared to the 315's, but i am runnin them all 3' ofc.
the 630 nanolux fixture to me feels too focused and causes a hot spot. You can basucly bump your hoods up to each other and eliminate that.
my next run will be 3- 4×8 tables 630 in the middle, flanked by 315 on each end. and run a fourth table with 4- 315's..... Unless i can sell off the 630's and get 6 more 315's.

I'm switching from 3x600 to 3x315 in flower in an 8x12 (offset 2.5' from center).

I think with a long veg time yes. My first plant ever was a northern lights vegged for 8 weeks and in a 3x3 by itself under a 315 LEC I could have easily had two plants it's size in there so double the yield.....?

It gave me a 1/2 p dried and cured.......

I get a pound per 600w hps, let me know if you can achieve that with the 315 thanks.

You have hp per 315 vs 1lb with a 600?

Yea sounds like I would need 2 of those lights to cover the same area as my 600w hps does, my hps does 16 squared feet, this light does 9. Yield is mainly determined by grow area, I don't see how this could yield as much as a 600w hps or a 1000w hps. 3x3 is kinda a small pattern and doesn't match my area I would have a good amount of overlap, i'd have to run 8 of these to cover what 3 of my hps cover. I would wager that would be a whole heap of a lot more heat.

1x600 does 16sq'?

I run 6x600s. Never found that good of a spread

All about your reflector, I use a 6 inch block buster, it puts out a perfect 4x4 square of light.

https://www.amazon.com/Sun-System-904650-Blockbuster-Air-Cooled/dp/B004JKFM14

Perfect for square growing areas (i.e. 4'x4')

• Very uniform, square, intense light pattern

• 6" integrated air-cooled fittings

• 95% reflective textured German aluminum interior

• Completely sealed with neoprene gaskets and hinged glass

A magnum xxl reflector will do a 5x7 with a 1000w hps in it, so that's like 35 squared feet and a 1kw gavita does a 4x6 so that's like 24 squared feet.

Anyone ever see or use these 315W CMH bulbs before?:

600s don't properly cover a 4x4.
SE 1000s don't cover a 5x7.

Can't really argue with the gavita statement. Although I prefer them in a 5x5 to a 4x6.

A 315 will cover a 3x3. A 630 will cover a 4x4.

I use a 600w hps in a 4x4 tent and it covers from wall to wall, I measured with my light meter and have grown plants from wall to wall. It's more about the reflector than anything, a 600w hps will properly cover a 4x4 for sure, that's what they are made for, and a 1000w hps will cover a 5x5, just like a 400w hps will cover a 3x3....even dumb ass grow weed easy knows whats up

Sounds like you guys aren't buying good reflectors.

Dude what's your fucken issue? I have never directed a comment towards you, was not speaking to you, and no one is challenging anyone to anything, take your ego and your stupidity and shove it. I was answering someone else's question. If you can't grow a unit with a 315 that's your issue not mine right?

If I got a half unit in the past with one plant would it not be a decent guess that a second of the same plant would double the yield if it fit in the space under the light?

AND FYI, there are grow journals on here with guys who do get a pound with a single 315 so get over yourself and your 600W

Wasn't trying to be rude so don't be so butthurt, I am looking to replace my 3x 600w hps with new lights cause they are getting old and used, Sorry you got bent out of shape about a simple question asking if this light can yield as much as a 600w hps.

Also it doesn't make you tough to act like a tough guy on the internet, I would wager a lot you would never speak to me like that in person.

Go grow your shitty auto plants under your LEDs while I harvest pounds and laugh at you. I bet you don't even have facial hair yet , little boy.

You gluing your pubes to your face again? Why don't you post some pictures of your grow so we can get some good laughs.

Look at me big tough guy on the internet asking someone for pictures of their grow so I can learn something lol

I'm not here for your teaching with the shitty attitude you have

Yoda your crazy dude. I hate getting into stuff like this but you seriously have no idea what your talking about.

LEC 315's are amazing. They make very little heat and have a considerably larger light spread than you think. I swapped from 1000w's and 600w's to LEC 315's and i'll never look back.

Pathetic man. Seriously if your going to say people are gluing pubes on their face then your the one who needs to grow up.

Absolutely pathetic.

Enjoy your 600w hps? I have no problem with that; they are very good lights. But have you ever even used a LEC315? Have you ever even seen one in action?

Did your wife cheat on you with a LEC 315 or something? I can't imagine why the hell you have so much hate towards them when you clearly don't even know how to run a HPS properly.

God damn god damn. I don't know why you came into this thread to do a shitty job bragging; but seriously don't come back
