This is my first time running cmh and loving it. I'm also dialing in on my tea brewing with my ebb&flowad dwc

Sorry to hear this. I was reminded of finding a lady int he back of my tent that had just been missed
when the watering happened.....like she is dry as a bone. Def a nute shock, I am thinking.

Thanks I been using a cmh 400 for years. I needed a better light for my low ceilings and these 315 lec lights fit the bill.

I must say you all are killing it with the LEC lights. Doc uses some also (630 lec). Its nice seeing diff ways you all are using them.When I get all 315 lec's in my rooms then I can post what they do. I am just now switching to them and it takes time as I am not a rich man.

I have tried a few substandard lights. A mars reflector and a 550 watt MCOB and the 315 shows me what can be done. I am getting to a point of higher learning but good gear makes it easier. Get a 315 CMH and a 3 x 3 tent and you will never look back. COBs are great and the new samsung gear looks great but a 315....I know it works great
We have a 4 plant constraint. And very high electricity costs.
My last 2 runs with my 315 cost 9.50 per ounce.

I bet you'd be into each legit vertical setup for $350 each. As many as he's talking, that's some bucks. Kinda reminds me of how I feel when I bought plenty of gear that were part of my education, and now I'm like... Wish I would've just bought CMH to begin with, along with plenty more grow room lessons.

In the tests I have posted in this thread since 18 months ago it is apparent that the 315 cmh combined with hps at about 2/3 hps to 1/3 cmh yields the best results for quality and yield.
Cmh alone cost me over 30% avg yield in the same space as a 600 hps.
I drank the coolaid. The natural light sold me immediately. It is much better to see the plants and they look frostier.
However the hps only grown bud was chosen as more potent in most blind tests. And we like the overlap buds the best.
And cmh alone yields fluffier leafier buds when compared side by side.
Too much blue light is not good for our flowers. Just the leaves.
Sorry. It’s all hype.

What I am most impressed by is how well my 315W CMH tent does
next to my 600W HPS tent. Not as well, but close enough to impress.
I liked the "500W" suggestion....that seems close.
But I am not running side-by-sides like you are....I would love to run some sort of combo too.

I almost agree. I think about 450 watts of hps intensity with better leaf health and growth but less flower production and less footprint than a 400 hps.
My whole room exploded with growth and even leaf spot repair when I put the 315 in there in a tight triangle with the 2 600 hps lamps.
The flowering faded plant on the right greened back up during ripening with no additional fertilizer
And some of the other hps only stress in the room. seems to go away too.
Great grow bulbs but are what they are.
What I need to know is what cri cobs matches this spectrum?

I read this and get excited to use 315w CMH/400w HPS housed in 1 glassless hood. Not sure it's all hype. Are you saying if you put a 315w CMH in the same space as a 600w HPS you get 30% less yield. But you used 48.5% less power. What if you put 2 - 315 CMH at 630w, in a 3x6 space, or individual 3'x3', would the yield per Watt be only 5% more than a 600w HPS in it's ideal space.

two 315's& two 600 hps in a 4x8 tent chilling with 8k btu's
