I've always ran into issues when trying to push or pull air thru 3 lights and a scrubber. Found it easier to run seperate fans and ducting
i keep debating on picking up an T4, urs looks new, u kno anyone that uses it?
Damn guys lol, you all put my one lonely little light to shame! Gotta start somewhere though right.
Getting anzy. 1 week until harvest and redoing the veg and flower rooms. Damn cmh setups keep eye balling me in my smoking room. Put me in bish...what ya waiting for. Lol
I get 1lb per 600 dry/cured every run for 4+ yrs. Wonder what I'll pull with 1x315 x 4 lights? Having the right strains helps tons. If I run 4x gg4 under 1 hood, I'll get about 20-22oz. All grown in 4.7gal pots.
so would I be better to use a Philips 315 cmh? or a philips 860 cdm allstart? sole light source in a 4x4
i haven't used the 860 all start but im sure it could rock a 4x4. The 860 runs off of a magnetic ballast and the 315w runs off of a LFSW Ballast. i think that the way the new style ballast drives the lamp is part of the magic.
I think you will be more then happy with the 315.
For a 4x4 he'll need two of the 315W CMH lights, or possibly a twin fixture with the 630W CMH.
The magnetic ballast is very inefficient compared to the LFSW ballast for the 315W/630W system.
Stick with COB LED.
Stick to the 3K or mix in some 4K/5K?
ive run 3 315's over a 4ftx6ft and had hit 1.6 gpw, however i felt it was too much light 3 would be perfect over a 4x8ft table!!! wish i could get a 4x8 in my room but im stuck in the 4x6 and ive switched to running 2 lamps for the first 3 weeks of bloom then use all 930watts from week 3-finish,, last run i yielded just a bit less than when running the 930watts full time still got 1.58 gpw and saved a bit on electric....i also think u need to run the 315's 3ft above to cover the hole 4ft, any closer and the outside row of plants get a bit smaller buds than the rest...Got the 3rd LEC up and running.
Time to see how 930w of LEC in a 4x8 go.
630w was a little too much for a 5x5 (at least for the strain I was running) so I have high hopes
