My fucken 630 cmh packed it last night might only be 6 months old. I’ll chuck in the 600 hps on my light rail. I’m in the 3rd week of flower
Hopefully they just replace it I’ve got the 315w same model and it’s been solid for 2 years
I'm going to switch from my 630 DE CMH to a DE HPS when I flip. Going to run it @750W to see what happens. I've never run it before so I think I'll start up high to make sure I don't fry them.

That's what I need for next winter. My basement is drafty in these polar vortexes, LEDs just don't throw enough heat, month after month.
I reconfigure duct intakes to>furnace room(add humidity)>flower>veg>lung rm. That usually keeps the ambient canopy humidity and temps ok, but the roots still get chilly when -10f hangs around for weeks.

I'd rather just switch lights and turn on the humidifier for the lung room, than re hang all the ductwork twice a year.
The lights out humidity spike from the flower tent, vents into the veg tent is a bad idea overall. It's just gambling for PM when ambient humidity goes up.

I have 8' ceilings, and the super reflector I have isn't very thick so I have plenty of headroom. I just upsized pots after figuring out the sex of 2 of them. I figured I'll wait for them to get over the shock before flipping, possibly a week?
This is the first time I've kept all my plants off the floor, which makes runoff much easier to handle. :cool:

and it's better for my aching back!

I have a little raised platform to get them off the concrete. I have enough room to put my chair in there so I can sit when I water. I use a 5 gallon bucket and a pond pump with a hose and switch on it.
