Very true. I have thought about that. If I did mix hps with cmh should I get 400 watt bulbs and dial the ballast to that? The 600 watt bulbs are much hotter than the cmh bulbs for sure. So as far as mixing them a 600 watt hps vs 315 lec, should I match the wattage so I can keep the reflectors at...
Copy that midnight. Should I have them all in a row? I'm going to get a 4th. Its bright as shit but the ends are dim compared to the rest. So all 4 in a straight line?
Good point! I'm debating 3 x 600 hps/mh or just adding a 4th lec. I have noticed the bugs are gone when I switched from led to lec. So I'm thinking a 4th 315 cmh/lec to get the watts up and keep the uv spectrum
I have 3 x 315 watt cmh hydrofarm ballasts in a 4x8 space. This is my first grow with them. Two of them are 3100k and the middle is 4200k. That's the bulbs that came with them. Is this enough light or should I add supplemental lighting?
Thank you in advance
As the title states, I have 3 - 315w cmh hydrofarm phantom II ballasts with hydrofarm reflectors and I also have 3 - 600w hydrofarm dial-a-watt ballasts with radiant 8 air cooled hoods. I just purchased them for such a great price I couldn't turn them down. I haven't used them yet and have heard...
Roger that, I was using a bunch of small leds for veg and realized that by taking of the plastic I got alot more light where I wanted it and was able to direct it instead of trying to reflect it. In other words the bulb was meant for something different like lighting a room. Taking off the...
also those are led light bulbs I see in there. Remove all the plastic deflectors, i am currently making a small array of led like you for a small test plant. Take the plastic off the led bulbs and they will direct all the light downward and also let the heat away from the leds to rise faster to...
Put a fan exhausting out like a pc and one in on the bottom. Push pull, cheap, easy, low noise. You might even have them laying around. Passive intake works also but two fans will be more reliable in case on fails.
I definitely would love to try Scroggins, this is my first time I'm just trying to get the lights, airflow, temp, humidity, nuts, and watering down. I didn't know it was this much work. God bless you guys who have done this forever. I will work on getting them off the wall and install two new 20...
Yes a
This is what I was looking for, its not in a tent I can use any of the area in a temp controlled room. So I can adjust the footprint. Right now its 4x8 because
This is how it is but I have 3 more of them led panels to add.
Will do thank you.
Thank you very much, if its different then it will be a good observational experience, which from what I read the cmh has uvb and the hps does not. Sounds like a plan, im going to set them up today. Will report back. Thank you.
