Here is the 16 manifold super skunk sensi. Reachin for the screen. The 315 3100 cmh provides a ton of light in this little space. Thats a tiny gs cookies crossed with a cookies and cream. It was a gift. Stayed very small but man does it stink. Its one of those plants that yeilds a tiny bit but man what a punch. My hydro guy gifted me 10 seeds. Thanks hydro dude! And yes i tied that screen all by myself. Lmao.

Well, the Sunburst 315 that I stumbled into at a liquidator store many moons ago, turned out to be one of the best investments I have ever made...I used it for a Veg light for awhile with the Phillips 4100K it came with, but when temps began to drop in the flower room in NOV I decided to give it a run in flower, so I picked up the Phillips 3100K bulb.
In a total of 17 g,al of soil, two well vegged plants, with enough branching to stretch the footprint to its max, and a little beyond really.... I yielded 15+ zippers...and a buncha larf for candy. This light is fantastic.
Needless to say, the CMH will remain in the flower room, as the few degrees of heat it adds in the dead of winter here in Da UP of MI, have benefited the rest of the room as well, which is generally lit with DIY LED....Im not one of those anti HID types, I believe in the right tool for the job. The CMH is a great tool for me now.
Last winter it ran too cold, and I was in the process of planning more builds to add flower space anyway, but the CMH is a winner, and will always have an area dedicated for its use in my rooms forever...

Hey i have a general question. I get great results with maxibloom. I use it for the whole grow at quarter strength. Last grow i used b52 from advance too. So heres the question. Anybody think i should or could use a bloom enhancer to help. And if so which one works best for you. Having said that i am ok with just using maxibloom on its own. Just seeing if i can tweak it a bit. In my setup i have such an abundance of light she could probably eat more.
All opinions are welcome. And a big thanks to everybody thet has helped me to get this far.

I think that the Skunks largely originated with Sensi Seeds. I recently decided to see if
I could find a good Skunk and am testing their Skunk #1, Super Skunk, Shiva Skunk,
and Early Skunk. LOL nothing that skunky so far.

In spite of their popularity, I like to suggest DNAs crosses....pretty much anything
that they cross with Sour Diesel, LA Con, Tangie, and Cannalope are amazing.

Good luck!

I finished switching over to CMH (from MH & HPS) about 2 months ago and I'm lovin it :bigjoint:
Replaced 2 x 600w w/cool tubes & a 400w open fixture (1600w HPS/MH) with 3 x 315 CMH (945w), and they're performing at least as well if not better than HPS & MH.
My grow isn't elaborate, kinda a KISS set-upo_O, so now that pot is legal, I'm growing 4 girls in a 2 tent Perpetual Grow.
Veg tent has a 4000k bulb, and the flower has 2 x 3000k & 1 x 4000k bulbs.
I'm looking a two of the biggest plants that I've grown and I'm thanking the CMH.

I am wondering if I am having a ballast problem?
Here are a few pics taking in the past two days. The tray is elevated from the back to the front but not side to side. Note how the plants of the left are taller than the ones on the right. Same lights, fixtures, ballast, and same height.
That being said the ones on the extreme left and along the back wall are pheno #2, the plants in the middle are pheno #3 and on the right wall is pheno #5. The mothers of these three ranked in this order, #2 was the tallest only by a slight amount over #5 and #3 was the shortest of the batch. I replaced both bulbs this grow so I know it is not a bulb issue. Note how #3 in the middle is taller on the left side of the pic compared to the right side.

In another view you can see the individual tops and note that you can hardly see them on the right hand side.

Today I switched the fixtures but left the ballast in place to see if it makes a difference in growth on either side. Should I also lower the lamp on the right to get it the same distance from the plants as the left hand side. The left is 21 inches and the right is around 23 inches from fixture to plant tops.
Here is a picture of the fixtures, taken on 1/31.

The plant in this picture, did you have any lockout?
The others look nice.
Just curious as I have suffered from that before.

Agreed. Out of 15 seeds i got one that stinks like a good thing. The buds are nice and tight. Leaves are a little darker that rest. Seems darker leaves is something to look for. I am totally hooked on skunk for now. I will try some skunk 1.

I got a freebie pack of Skunk Ass- (Ajs Sour D x Skunk 18 ), from Murica genetics, in a DC Seed Exchange order. I buried all 5 last night in the hopes of getting some major dope reekage from one of them...Like hafta run another scrubber kinda stench, hopefully. I doubt it will, but something named Skunk Ass, if it wont foul up the room, what will? They were free, so I have nothing but hope....

what kind of footprint are 2 x 315s covering for flower?
Click to expand...
For me, 4x4 - I have 4 plants, two under each lamp. 20-24" above canopy.

Just harvested 2 of the 4 plants I have going in the other tent yesterday. From that, I would say the penetration of these 315's is about 18" for solid flower growth. Everything below that is pretty fluffy. I've started plucking the bottom 1/3'd of the plant of growth nodes and this was one of my easier harvests.

Here's one of 6 main branches I got off one plant, the other 5 are pretty similar. Shiva Skunk that went 62 days from flip. Guessing I'll end up with about a qp after it's dried. The other pics are of the garden over the weekend and cola shots of that same Shiva plant before she got a haircut.
