Like the shower stall space. The light seems really chill. Do you grow from start to finish with the 315 ?? Plants look really happy!

I start under T5s and switch to the 315 when they get repotted to a 1gal usually. I'm probably going to get a second light (same) and put them side-by-side to get better coverage. The shower stall is an awkward area at about 3×6feet... this is my first grow light, so not sure how they compare to other kinds for flow. It kicks butt though, I'm very impressed with it so far! Low heat output, good spectrum!

2 would do pretty well in that space.
I started out with a 315. Love it. Just didn't have enough oomph. Only good for about 2.5'x2.5' in flower.
Now its supplemental lighting in the middle of the flower tent between 2- 1000W hps :)

I was thinking about getting a hps for flowering, since I only grow during winter and needing to heat my space currently

Hey total newbie to the indoor grow thing but thought I'd show you what I've got going on. No idea how the flowers are gonna turn out but up till now I'm really happy with it. I'm using two spider-farmer 1000 led panels and a 315 CMH from Sun Systems with a adjustable ballast inside a 4 x 4 tent with heat and fans I'm under 600 watts.

Thanks, its been a real learning experience. Didn't expect to end up with 5 plants when I popped six seeds, let alone 5 females.

That'shalf the fun!! Yes, it seems to be a little different every run for me, so I still consider myself to be novice at best, even after 8 runs... I've tried 3gal/5gal/7gal smart pots for final flower pot size, depending on number of fems .. have run 2, 3, 5, 8, and 12 plants in the same space. all worked great, main difference being frequency of watering and veg time. This run, I have 1 confirmed female at this point (eagle scout), will probably SCROG again for a couple weeks and then flip to 12/12, adjust as needed and as they show sex. I'm assuming 3 or 4 will be males, but we'll see!

So jeolous of that nice even canopy!

Hey bud- thanks for your continued support here- Only day 6 of 12/12, so we'll see how even it stays! There are a few mains that really want to stretch a lot faster than the others. If nothing else, this has bought me an extra 10 inches or so, and has helped get direct light to some of the lower side branches to maximize the yield.

Transpiration rates have increased, and so my humidity has increased also. So I now have my exhaust fan coming on for 1hr every other hour. That seems to be the perfect balance for now. Before, I was putting 2.5 gallons in my humidifier every day or every other day. I haven't had to fill it in about a week now. Ive only been using a small wall-mounted fan pointed down at the center of the canopy during veg, and just put in an extra oscillating fan to help with air flow below/ in the canopy, they seem to like it!!

Filling in nicely and starting to really flower now, just fed again, trimmed about half the undergrowth. Will remove rest of lower bud sites next feed.
