Club 315w lec

[GroErr]

How do you compare it to COB's?

Can't really compare it yet as I haven't run through a whole grow with 3590's or comparable even after the first run I just started. Would have to do a side-by-side and quite frankly I don't expect there would be any significant difference, explained below. Compared to some older COBs I've pulled higher gpw with same strains under the 315's.

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

Efficiency is only one factor though, there's a lot of talk about efficiency like it'll make or break a grow or yields. imo the difference between them in efficiency would be made up in the wider spectrum provided by the 315's if no other supplements like 660nm or 730nm triggers were used with the COBs.

Thanks for the reply, I am debating the 315 CMH or 3590's with UV for a tent........

I've been running the CXB3590 and I've seen nothing that tells me the plants need UV.

It's a test and only because it's already on hand.

I'm generally 1.5 to 2 feet above my canopy.. I'm running the sun system 315 lec on 220 and have had a great experience with them I have 5 and two LEDs in my flower room

Which bulb are you running in your LEC's?

 

[MurphyTLO420]

The sunsystem Phillips bulb 3100

Thanks I submitted an offer on one let's see if they accept lol......

If not I will try to sell or trade my spare COB for one ..........

Anyone else here use the 4K bulb for flowering? Advanced Technology Solutions guy definitely was pushing them.
"We sell all the lamps but In horticulture after real testing we like the 210 and 315 in 4K Mogul Format".

I had two plants finishing flowering under my old 600w HPS. They looked just a day or two away from being finished so I swapped in my new 315w 4K to get ready for the next plants. The very next day they had new calyxes and white hairs popping up like mad. I'm having a hard time believing it was just coincidence. Now I'm going to wait a bit longer to see what this new growth does.

Very excited from what I'm seeing so far from these lights. And for only $200 with free shipping for ballast and bulb I'm going to have to pick up another soon.

Yes in

Yes im almost in week five of flower and using one 315 3000k and one 210w 4200k seems to be working quite well. Will update this sunday

Just to confirm, all issues are resolved with the vendor? Also, do you have a suggestion for a solution from his site for a 2.5 'x 2.5' tent? Maybe a 210? Looking at budget/small space ideas with this spectrum.

Yeah, he shipped the order the same day and I had it 3 days later. I'm using a 315w in a 3x3. Not sure if I would drop the wattage for a slightly smaller space. Heat really isn't even a factor.

I do not think the 314 will fit in the 2.5x2.5 but make sure. I have a 20" x 36" that it would not fit in.

It will they are 21.5" long. A 210 or 315 would do but in a tent that small @wowowee you may be fighting heat. If you have the space just build a frame out of 2x4s and panda film it. How small is your space?

Well then he got lucky. I am fighting heat in my 20x36 so no biggie.

I have a 2x4 right now with heat issues as well that will be moved tomorrow. I will be adding another tent soon and that's what I want the 315 LEC for to compare with my COB's......

Perhaps cut the top off if it's a tent and pull cool air in. People say exhaust hot air out but I've always found bringing cool air from the floor in works better..

I will be rectifying this issue tomorrow by moving the tent from where it is to somewhere cooler. But thanks for the advice.

My 2.5 x 2.5 is what I intend to use for my closet. I could squeeze a 3 x 3 in there. What's the rest of your set up if you don't mind me asking, "I wanna be like you...."
