Increasing Count In Flowering Room..

Looking to increase the count in my flowering room, but from my perspective I feel that my current lighting is not sufficient enough to support more than one lady.

(46 days of 12/12 here)

I am running a Mars Hydro 192x5 Reflector in a 4x4x6 room at the moment and I feel that it produces nice buds, but the coverage is lacking for running more than one bucket. I wanted to run 3-5 buckets/girls in that room, but clearly I cannot light up all of that efficiently.

I have heard great things about CMH so I was looking into a setup much like this ( http://growershouse.com/ceramic-science-315w-cmh-light-conversion-kit ) with the "Philips Mastercolor CDM-T Elite 315W Agro Lamp T12 - 3100ºK" bulb and it comes out to $283.48 including shipping. That leaves me to purchase a reflector for it and it would be complete. Would that be enough alone with a parabolic reflector to light my flowering room, or would I have to continue using my led as well? Also, would I be able to use my led if I had a parabolic reflector in that room?

I'm open to options for lighting in my flowering room, but I need to keep it at around $300 including shipping..

What about going to an HPS? You can get a 1000k for that price and it will cover the area you have available.

You'd need 6 of those mars to cover that room.

Slap in a 600 or 1000 hps and be done with it.

No offense guys, but the CMH is going to be much easier for them to control heat. Don't let that 315W fool you. They work great. Haven't heard a bad experience from them yet.

I think this was posted when the website was messing up.. I tried several times and I'm not entirely sure what happened. This thread is no longer needed and can be locked or removed, or however this type of situation is handled.

Well at least tell us your decision haha.
