Hey Lucky Luke, I have a single hood with dual 315w cmh's to give me 630w in a 5x5 tent. This is my 1st go with it and I am pretty happy with it. On my next run I'll remove one of the bulbs for veg, both are just over kill at that stage. They do produce a good amount of heat and you definitely don't want less than a 20" space between the canopy and the light. Here's a link to my grow journal incase you want more info, I've gone in detail with my experience so for with the cmh lights. Happy growing man :bigjoint:

You guys need to just go led.. power bills in nz are higher than me so led it the way to go.. just my 2 cents.. I’m running 2 bestvas at the moment. They worked great for veg and I’m in the 3rd week of flower.. if I get good results I’m going way bigger and will be useing less than half the watts than useing hid. Plus keeps temps down..

Either good leds or cmh. Cmh is a good option. I’ve been trying a couple of 315’s will more than likely be getting more.
