I currently run a Mars Hydro Reflector 96x5 (175 watts?) in my 4x4x6 flowering room. The results have been good so far, but I only have enough light coverage for one lady and I was hoping to run 3-5 girls in this room (maybe scrog?). What kind of light recommendations could you recommend to cover this space and flower effectively for roughly $300?
I was looking at this kit
for $198.97 with the add-on bulb "Philips Mastercolor CDM-T Elite 315W Agro Lamp T12 - 3100ºK" for $79.23, which comes out $283.48 with shipping. After that I would just need to get a reflector and I heard that a 38" parabolic reflector would be ideal for my space, but I don't know if it would light efficiently with a 315 CMH bulb.
Thoughts? Recommendations?
