All BS set aside CMH yields

[Go go n chill]

Here is a yield report from a single 315 CMH from sunsystem, 3100k bulb from philips.

First grow, 3 plants including a stunted auto northern light from Nirvana : 17 oz.
Second grow, 4 plants, 2 Gold Glue and 2 Alien vs Triangle by Mephisto: 13 oz.

all grown in 3 gal fabric pots in coco, a+b, calmag and PK 13/14.

Food for thought.

Pics?

Sweet

We all need to remember,... yields can be strain based .

Have a look. First photo is a canopy shot with two in front being alien vs triangle. Next photos are two gold glue. Currently starting mephisto 2 x fantasmo express and 2 x hubbabubbasmelloscope.

Very nice. Did you ever run an HPS in the same environment?

 

[doggeneration]

Hah no never. These were my first two grows ever. However I am upgrading to a 4x4 and I just ordered 2 x qb96 elite v2 from hlg along with a driver : hlg 320-54a. I was thinking those 2 perhaps with a 315 cmh in 4x4.

You wouldn't believe my light progression.. : 4x3 feet t5ho,mars 400 blurple, 315 cmh and now hlg QB96 elite v2. Skipped the hps/mh entirely! Electricity where I am is nearly 32c/kwh...

Ok nice! how are you liking the quantums compared to the CHMs so far?

Let you know in a few weeks

Mixed would be great I'm sure. I was thinking going with a couple COB single lights to supplement the CMH

Not quite that where I live

I'm liking how this 315 vertically oriented vegges but am not sure if I should try flowering with it or jumping to a 630 first. This is the flowering bulb and it's very white. I'm nervous it wouldn't have enough red.

I vegged and flowered with single 315 and 3100k bulb and it worked great! What's your set up?

 

[Booyah!]

Pretty simple. 6in Vortex intake at floor level toned back on a potometer. Carbon filter and 6 Vortex exhaust. 1 light organic Soil in a 20 gallon fabric pot. Just got watered a day ago so shooting new growth.

a cmh should only be used like, inbetween goin from veg to bloom for a week , say your runnen 18/6 mh drop down to 16/8 for a week before 12/12 under just hps, plants get darker green and harden off better before the intense hps your bought to hit em with, uvb lighting in nature is highest in summer (veg) not bloom, (more natural high following nature) i tried vegging with cmh but the particular strain and cut i run kicks out way to many hairs in veg, my cut needs strictly white light in veg even leds fuck em up,

You're very wrong. I'm flowering under one 315 watt nanolux cmh with a phillips elite agro 3100k bulb and my plants absolutely love it. Top colas the size of water bottles with 2 weeks left to go still. Covered in a sea of trichomes. They honestly look better than a buddies 1000w hps plants no bs

 

[diggs99]

Cant speak for yield per se, only grew a few smaller plants, but quality was straight up fire under the 315 cmh(3100k phillips)

 

[Gond00s]

Imo I would think 600 watts of cmh would beat 600 of hps

 

[Mullalulla]

I took 63 oz's off 7 plants under 6 vivosun 315 cmh's with phillips 3100k bulbs using NFTG nutes.

CMH DAY 56

Depending on strain, cmh yields just fine.
