You have two threads about using 600w, not a one about a 315w or 1000w.

If the 315w was worth a shit everyone would be using one.

:leaf:
Club vert 600 ....yes....it's more than just 600 watt lights in that thread.

What other one are you talking about?

I'm running some 630DE-R LEC right now also...

Those were calculations that show how ridiculous it sounds when someone says, "grow twice as much with half the power."

If you say a 400w cannot pull a pound, while another has done just that, and then claim the 315w will do over 400g, then claim to get 500g from a 315w.... I smell something.. smells like bullshit.
My favorite is when someone posts about their "first grow" with pics of a perfect environment, everything dialed in, and big beautiful plants.
Umm Hmm.
Yeah right. :roll:

Hey guys, I am planning my next grow and I am wondering what is the preferred light for a 4x4 tent. I have the choice between 600HPS, 1000 HPS and 315CMH. Thanks!

If your indeed in a 3x3 tent a 1000w would be a tricky unit to keep cool. Thats a big ask, possible but hardcore.

Me personally I would try to fit TWO 315w CMH units in there. You will get the yield and likely the best quality Cannabis you could wish for. They will cost you more than the 600w HPS however.

But if budget isnt a huge factor then CMH all the way.

1kW in a 9 sq ft space, great Scott!

I see two extractor fans, intake fan, sealed reflector and a nice big power bill from running the AC constantly.

An adjustable 600W HPS with HPS and MH bulbs would do the trick, a 400W would be easier in the small space though.

Run a 315 and don't worry about heat. The girls will like the 315 spectrum better than any MH/HPS. your electric bill will also be less.
not if he’s going 600 watt hps. they charge watt hours so it’s 30 watts less.. i’m debating on this same thing right now and i’m just gonna stick a 600 watt hps. in there and be done. can’t afford a 630 watt cmh which i would rather have..
