Commercial Grow choices

[BigHornBuds]

I don’t like to have bulbs behind glass because you are degrading the light even before it gets to the plants .
But I think the de would cook in there, they are very very hot. You would need a lot of air movement to prevent a magnifying glass affect. I think sealed is the way to go .

The air pots do help, but cleaning the fabric every time, gets old fast.
So far liking the plastic air pots.

Don’t mind the questions, I use to grow for yrs , then met a girl she made me quit, got hurt, got a scrip, got to start up again.

wow dude, those are bad ass man! Those look like HID plants. This new tech is really rad. ii'm going to have read into these cobs more. Beautiful plants man!

Thank you, 3 fans and the light fixture..... 404 Watts covering a closet that is a bit bigger than 2x3

Switch to what bulb in your 315’s?

I’ve used a couple different bulbs.
I can see a difference in the Phillips bulbs
They are worth the money. And the plants do better under them.
Veg with a 4000k flower with a 3000

I grow with cobs 3500k veg and bloom. So I know nothing of bulbs, hps, cmh or LEC

I have never grew with LED so I’m at the other end.
I think some LEDs are good, but I also think they are over priced. If I bough a top of the line led to replace a 1000, I would need to keep it for a long to to equal the cost of the HPS with a new bulb every year. I think leds lose there value faster then hps so if I wanted to switch, I would be taking a bigger hit.
I’m sure one day I’ll be running them , just not in the near future.
Right now , there’s no replacement for displacement.

I don’t want to get off topic in my own thread but!

I agree, they are costly

Dried, and trimmed this was 50 grams. This was 1 part of a branch, from 1 plant under 1000W Hortilux HPS, and 20 gallons Promix BX. This is dry.

Plant produced 28oz.

Strain is Kosher Kush.

We showin big buds lol

Is that a gatiar case?

Is that a gatiar case?

Yes, to show how long the bud is.

Heres the guitar. I had it custom made. Its a 59 Les Paul Replica, using all old growth 50s era correct Brazilian Rosewood, Honduran Mahogany, Holly, and Maple.

i have 315's as well, they are the only "modern" piece of tech i have.. (still trying to learn about LEDs and DIY cobs).. I use the 315s in specific scenarios, like to burn though generations in smaller sectioned-off areas, or for testing out soemthing.. Sometimes science calls for setting up multiple 3x3 tents or using panda film to section off an area, to test something or whatever.. Instead of using a shit-ton of CFL's or like a 400 or 600 i can rely on the 315's.... i love them, they dont get as hot as 400/430 but produce the equivalent (in my mind) to what a hypothetical 450 or 500w HID would do.. they work great, and have thier purpose and place.. .. but i dont use 315's for big runs. they simply dont have the penetration i want. I still always rely on trusty 1k hps's for production runs man.. veg under 1k mh's at 24/0.. flwr under 1k hps's..

Thank you for your suggestions...”veg under 1k MH’s and flower under hps”
This is a scenario I’ve hesrd multiple times.
