Hey all its been a long winter hope everyone is well.
Has anyone used the 3100k 315 for seedlings? How high should I keep the light? Or should i just use my 8 bulb t5?
@GroErr @Bad Karma @DemonTrich @GemuGrows I am open to suggestions since this is only my second run with these lights and I used my t5 last time for seedlings until they were 5 nodes or so(and every other time before for years)

Thanks

I haven't personally. but my son tried it and got too much stretch, lights have to be fairly high up for seedlings under these. He stuck to his T5's until they get a few nodes like you mentioned, probably your best bet if they're available. I did run some under the 3100k straight to 12/12 from seed and they stretched like mofo's too.

I haven't had any stretching issues with my seedlings or clones under the 3100k bulb. I keep the light at 3.5 feet from the youngsters and let them grow towards it for awhile before adjusting the lamps height.

Hi guys I recently got a 315 watt and the bulb feels really loose in the socket. The instructions said when I insert it into the mogul and turn clockwise, I would feel a lock in type mechanism. When I try to install my bulb I stick it, turn clockwise, but there's no lock in feeling. My bulb fell out and hit the floor but luckily didn't break, any help would be appreciated. Maybe I can put some electrical tape near the socket to secure it?

It's a Philips Mastercolor CDM-TP Elite 315W CMH Agro Lamp T12 - 3100ºK and a sunsystem lec 315 ra remote reflector. Ya, it's not tight at all, the reflector is made so the bulb is faced downwards when I have it in the socket, if I turn the reflector so the bulb isn't facing downwards, then the bulb falls out.

I seriously think you don't have the bulb in far enough.
