I’m at a debate.. I’m running a 315 cmh in my 3x3 but feel I may need more light.. some say it’s enogh, some say I need more... I’m really trying to pull 3/4- 1 lbs... I understand strain, genetics, and I will be the deciding factors...I’m now thinking 9 plants in 2 gallon fabric pots...thoughts please!!

I run my 600w air cooled mh/hps in my Mars hydro 3x3 tent. Easily harvesting 1.3 lbs. Right now I got 1-Green Gelato 1- Wedding Cake 1-Gorilla Cookies 2(autos) 1 inside tent under the 600 and the other I keep outside my tent under 1 Optic 1 Cob (1 Seedsman NL 1- Critical Orange Punch. Lol it’s tight believe me I finish in 2 gallon fabrics and the autos in 3 gal fabric pots. I trellis the tent and clean the bottoms out real nice and I built my net at 2 inch by 2 inch squares with LST I get a shit load of just tops. Lol just rambling but good luck but a 600w mh/hps (out dated) as it is kills the 3x3 space

Yeah I’m going to have to put my 315 cmh back in.. with the 260 it seem too much even when dimmed..leaf coupling.. too much heat.. 260 doesn’t create enough heat.. alone in my garage.. may just grab another tent to run..

600w hps is meant to be in a 3x3 tent. 1000w for 4x4. Otherwise your stretching the light. But it's not unusual to see a 600 in a 4x4 or a 400w in a 3x3. But it could be better. I would run 320w hlg in a 3x3 or a 315 CMH

What's the distance from light to canopy?

I had my 315 and 260 in at the same time.. looked like I was stressing them out. Leaves started looking like tacos.. temps did get a bit high..plus it’s much harder to get my heat right without a heater... I think I will try hanging my 315 higher..I run my light at night to offset the temps...

Are you referring to the canoeing on the colas? If they're forming frost, those are rails

I’m familiar with the frosty railing toward the bud area... was more so looking at the fan leaves of the lower left plant.. it shows it better.. there’s no frost on this section.. just the canoeing..of fan leaves..my humidity is around 38-40ish.. @ 39 they look ok..I guess

I see. I dont know what it could be. I'm honestly not the best with plant problems. Maybe the 315 would be better this time of year
