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

You're crushing it with one light dude, that 501st Og looks straight fire. Quality seems to be there for sure, how many grams per light are you averaging?

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.

One thing I can just about guarantee is that you'll like what you get in terms of quality. That's why I stuck with 860W CDM Allstart lamps.

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.

That's why I'm running 4 hoods/lights in an 8x12 that's 2.5' offset from center.

Stick to the 3K or mix in some 4K/5K?

3000k for bloom, the chip already has the spectrum.

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...

Your hood also plays a huge role in light dispersement. Imo, with a larger hood, the hood is able to spread the light out more, allowing you to lessen the canopy to light distance.
I'll be testing out this theory next Saturday with my 315 in big kahuna hoods.
