its a nice spectrum for sure. i veg with the 315 love it too but never flowered with it. I’ve notice with others like you say it finishes with more leafy buds

I just started a run with the Phillips 3100k in a 3x3 secret jardin tent. My last run with it was in the open growroom. It is much more intense in the small tent with the Mylar surrounding.

Seedlings are sprouting now of a strain I am familiar with. Sorry no clones this time.

I’m just finishing the prep for this room and light. And will be doing cookies and cream which I’ve ran several times now. So it should be a good control.

All my tests last 2 years were with 3 sets of 3 dialed in clones.

I just get bored and like to plant new seeds more. So this test is a Ch9 pow33 x Blue Lemon Thai run. Which is an unreleased cross from my favorite breeder.

I only keep one or two mothers anymore when I’m done I’ll usually pollinate my mother with pollen from a male when I first popped the the oringsl seeds. It’s how I keep some of my favorite strains lol.

Theres actually a ton of journals out there with 315w 4x4 grows or similar where it seems like the average yield depending on grower and strain is roughly 10-14 ozs. Some guys have had runs as good as to pull nearly an entire lb with one 315w. I myself had a pretty successful run on my last harvest. Filling only two thirds of my 5x5 and using a 630w cmh, I was able to yield 700 grams total so 25 ozs of legit bud not adding in popcorn or shake buds. And if you would like I have pics of the entire way through flower as well as a pic of them all jarred up in 1 or 2 oz increments so the yield can be verified. I'm not going to make assumptions and be one of those growers who say if I had the tent completely filled I could of got this amount instead. But that's not accurate obviously. I could of fit 2 more plants probably at most and probably average a couple few zips each per plant. So that would of hopefully put me in range of 1.2 to 1.3 gpw ish. But I'm happy hitting my verified 700g using 630w. Anything close to a gpw is stellar run for me. I think alot of people probably exaggerate yields sometimes because I've seen grows that just dont seem capable of hitting REAL GPW ratio. So I always seem to have people trying to claim those are medioker numbers but at the end of the day as long as I'm satisfied that's really all that matters lol

I used a g-13/sour diesel hybrid that I had run a few times before. 5 weeks veg under t-5 and 10.5 weeks flower. They yield well. I got the same 5oz average per plant but only room for 3 under the smaller footprint. 4 fit under the 600 hps.

I also only weigh decent buds. All little or loose and larfy stuff goes in with the bud leaf trim for coconut oil. I jar and cure it along with the buds but don’t weigh it up front.

And I’ve ran this strain several times from my own seeds. I bred these from exotics genetix original seeds I had. So this should be good.
