Dude at the hydro shop swears by CMH. Those bulbs that just hang kind of? I’ve seen them HPS style with hood etc and dude swears CMH is “new school” ish. He knew of my quantum boards, still tried to sell me on the CMH. I know “hydro farm” I think is their supplier, and they push the CMH so I’d expect dude to try and sell that but idk just have never used them. Good stuff you say? How’s the heat? Do you have a hood, or just hanging bUlb? (I’ve seen that before)

yeah i think 4 plants is about right for 4x4 or even 5x5. 5x5 would be perfect because there'd be room for a tower fan in the middle to kinda move things about.. and could probably fit a dehumidifier in one side and a humidifier on the other with a hygrostat controlling both in the middle!

I wouldn’t mind. The HPS at all again man but I swear it fucking FUCKED my power bill.
Some months the bill was legit 498 bucks and I’d bite my nails daily worrying. No one in a trailer has a bill that high..... only reason I switched. Praying the QBs produce well because I KNOW the HPS was giving me solid quarter pound dry autoflowers. Again not bragging. But I hit it off good with the high pressure sodium. Used a reducer from 6” to 4” to suit my fan and.... obviously had major heat issues. Now that I have 6” duct work.... damn man. You’re gonna get me into firing that HPS back up on a. Very shorter schedule.

my first 315w CMH was this style:
and it fucking fried my girls in a 2x2 and 2x4. Immediately refunded those to get these from sun systems:
bought this ballast that also got me the adapter for the hood:

and voila - air cooled CMH in 2x2 and 2x4
i have since replaced the CMH in the 2x4 with a series of 4x qb120's

Hey man I understand. Just was wondering if it was collecting permanent dust lol. Anyway so you’re a firm believer/fan of CMH? Don’t see many cats using that on forums.

so i've been smoking my own for quite some time... friend of mine tried some of the stuff i call my daily (colorado cookie plant #2) and he spaced out for about an hour. I brought him along to help me with picking up some furniture and at one point i'm like push and he's trying to lift the whole couch himself like i'm not there. It was far out... I need to take a T break lol
Man I'm falling in love with this royal robbery #2 pics don't do Justice, Stronng citrus diesel smell, extremely dense, and frosted, intoxicating being around it, plus it's a fast finisher.
Awesome to see as well bc I know these traits came str8 from the dad. Glad I still have him.

Gotta get you some QB’s bro.
Are those the COBs from big smo at autocobs?
Im just not into putting big money into lighting, 130 bucks for a custom parts HPS feel me. And it can't get no more dense, a 600 should cost me about 40 a month to run.
Outdoors is that real shit lol I love outdoor.

Nah they’re the horticulture lighting group LED boards. A lot of people are piecing them together and doing DIY builds doing them cheap. My QB’s have given me harder nugs then my HPS ever did. They are also bringing me in the same if not more yield on average and I’m running 4 tents for around $30 a month if that. And I don’t have to deal with the heat.
