Club 315w lec

Hey ttystikk, do the315lec promote more sidebranching and bud sites or is this just me being optimistic?

Tough call for me to make; I'm gonna say they just encourage a lot more growth overall.

This is my first run indoors and I was very suprised at the amount of budding sites my girls have. They are doing a helluva lot better than they ever have outdoors. I'm sold on this light and I've still got a few weeks to go. great investment.

One more question for ya. what are the advantages of growing with a kickass vert setup like you use?

Well it allows one to yield more in a given space due to the fact that you can grow a larger volume of plants that get an even distribution of light and they are easier to work on than horizontal grows. And trees look generally far more badass than a bush!

I know what you mean when you said a nice big tree is much cooler than a small bush. there's nothing cooler than standing in the shadow of a 10ft monster!

Space efficiency and productivity.

I second this.

To many to list but another favorite is less heat and light is nice and tight to the plant. So no cooling fan designated to cooling and expensive hood that reduces light by 10%. Oh and it's quieter.

How my Friday night went
60 day veg from seed(lost 2 weeks of training due to work trip.)
57 days in flower
156.9g or 5.6 oz
Still have one plant to take down

Jars full of bud always makes me smile

Hey gang, quick question for anyone with completed 315 cmh runs......what is the consensus for distance from hood to canopy?
Also, I would like to trim off anything below the optimal penetration distance from the bulb....anyone have a ballpark for that?

If it helps, my canopy if basically 3x3 with one plant tied down as best I could to keep it even.

Thanks for any guidance!

 

[Growdict]

personally i was 20-22" away from light. canopy about 12" thick

 

[feloniousfunk]

Thanks growdict, really appreciate the fast reply....sounds like decent parameters for me to start with.

 

[Evil-Mobo]

Which Kelvin rating are you guys preferring for this light?

 

[Growdict]

i have only used the 3100k

 

[Kasuti]

3100k and its doing a great job so far

 

[ttystikk]

My lamps are the 4000K, working great in veg. I don't bloom with them.

20-22" is good, you could go a bit higher if your plants are not too tall. At 20-22" they can grow decent bud as far down as 30" below the canopy.

Have only used the 3100k's. Some have reported using the 4200k's for flowering and they'd probably do fine but the 3100k's provide a great flowering spectrum.

How do you compare it to COB's?

 

[Growdict]

it is apparently not quite as effiecient as cobs.
500w hps= 315w cmh=250w cobs? probably something like that.
