So you can get a chord?Is this just a way for them to make them cheaper?When I first saw them I thought wtf is that ever dumb!
Yes with same results love my 315 and disliked the De 630 and tried diff spectrums.Anyone using the double ended 630 watt cmh? I have a growers choice model with the 3k red enhanced bulb, I wasnt a fan of it, dont even use it anymore. Love my 315s though.
I'd honestly like to sell my 630

It puts off a ton of heat, probably typical for a de, and ofcoarse being a de light isn't suppose to be as close to the canopy, well the problem is the light intensity is shit at a further distance, 33 to 36 inches if I remember right was giving par readings only in the 200s to 300s. And I've read people trying to defend that point saying par dont mean everything with cmh, something about it casts a different type of light that isnt measurable with a par meter, or something like that. So I went with it and kept the light around 33 inches, any closer and it got too hot on the canopy, and that was during the winter in a basement. Well 3 weeks in I had the stretchiest and smallest budded plants I'd ever grown before, so obviously there was a mistake with the design of the bulb or something. You cant get the light close enough to give adequate intensity without having an AC blowing directly over the canopy.How was that 630 performed?
Yea I keep my 315 like 24" above my veg plants in a 3x3 or they wont bush out. I really want a 4k bulb but this 3 really beefs out the stems had huge hollow stems my last grow with it I flower under 600w hps thoughIt puts off a ton of heat, probably typical for a de, and ofcoarse being a de light isn't suppose to be as close to the canopy, well the problem is the light intensity is shit at a further distance, 33 to 36 inches if I remember right was giving par readings only in the 200s to 300s.

It seems to be extremely bright to the eye though would make a good shop light lol I've used it in 2 runs though and hope I never have to use it again, need to replace it with something. I'm looking into DIY led strips.
My two 315s are mixed in with cobs and do well. I like the lower heat that comes with leds though. Not knocking 315s at all though.

I know I just got a cheap hydrocrunch off eBay to try out and it came with a 3k. Eventually want to flower with it but damn the veg plants look nice and dont even need support in flowerU got em backwords.jk lol
Gas leaked bulb, you need to return this.guys, ive just received my first CMH kit, but unfortunately one of the bulbs has some sort of hazy cloudy spot on it.
Should I return this bulb ? Theyre both Dimlux, I am planning on getting Phillips one soon.
Thanks

Very nice what kinda fixture did you use?Twin sister. Rock solidView attachment 4401317
Nice, I started using CMH about a year ago and I love them.Horizontal single end 2 of em on 4x4
Off to a great start. Very healthy looking. Hope you kill.Three days into stretch after 5 1/2 week veg from seed! Im pushing the limits with this 3x4 area. Prob gonna supplement with LED but I'm tempted to see how the edges produce without..View attachment 4401432
