Merlin, do you recycle your water? How much do you use, how many time a day are you hitting them, for how long each and how much runoff per container?

Right now they get watered twice a day for 2-4 minutes a watering. There's 0 runoff. So the only water we waste is the r/o units waste. If we had better water and didn't have to run r/o our wasted water would be 0...

I've also been runing those for over a year and they crush it in every aspect. I believe that the horizontal lay out gives a better light spread and doesn't produce as much heat as the sun systems.

I never understood vertical bulbs in hoods. Bare vertical bulbs for vert growing yes, but in hoods no. I'm no lighting expert but seems to me the spread is better horizontal.

Honestly, I'm really, really bad with identifying smells. I'll get the trim crew to see what they think and let you know. Thanks!

so you said each lamp is 4ft apart and 3ft above canopy correct? i think with so many lamps the overlap of each lamp creates a very even spread of light. in a smaller space, say a single 4x8ft f&d table 3 lamps 2ft above canopy works better than 2 lamps 3ft above..anyways my opinion is with the 315's the larger the grow area, multiple lamps can be spaced a bit farther apart because of the overlap. wile in small scale grows the more lamps the better.. wile 2 lamps can easily cover a 4x8 table at 3ft above canopy, 3 lamps will turn a better yield..then again 4 lamps would be overkill and lower your gram per watt.. ive been running tests over a 4ft x 6ft table first 2 315's yielded 800grams or 1.3 gpw then i ran 3 lamps over the space and pulled a 1.45 gpw total. then i ran a 1k hps over the table to compare against the 3, 315's or 945 watts lec the hps could not cover the area near as well and ill be lucky if i get 1 gram per watt off the 1k hps..ive been growing with HPS and MH for many years and it takes time and experience to get a gpw, it seems to me the ceramic lamps could get a beginner a gpw with ease and with time and experience i believe a 1.75 GPW is very achievable.. what are your thoughts on this?
anyone feel free to please check out my lec,cdl,cmh grow(so many names for the same lamp)

Spot on. I think the ceiling is closer to 2 gpw though.
