Plants don't tend to stretch as much under these, due to the spectral distribution. They grow plenty healthy, though! Also, as a rule of thumb, you only need about 60% of total wattage in 315W CMH lights as HPS, whether the mission is veg or bloom.
The area is 3x5. I'll be hanging another 315 next week or closing the area to 3x3. I have 2 more 315's with 3100 and 4200 bulbs. The light is 2' over the lowest plant which is in the middle. Eventually I'll have Mylar on the walls and the other room finished. I planned this room for veg and figured a 3x5 would be plenty of room. Ended having to move my outdoor plants inside and flower them. Took some cuts and have them growing now to be moms. Things got backasswards for me this season lol.
It seems you kept the kits just to come in here and try and keep up the LED vs HID shit.
I also have the Sun System. My hydro shop did have the other one with the conical shaped reflector and the external ballast and it was a little cheaper. I liked how he Sun System was all in one unit and it looked nice and well built. They did have several of the hydrofarm ones set up in their greenhouse over tomatoes and another one in the middle of the store set up over some kind of tree. All the plants and the tree looked amazing. For my room, the Sun System one just made more sense.

No. I kept the 315W CMH kits so I can use them in their most effective places in a setup that's otherwise advanced beyond the light bulb.
How is the smell on the northern lights? i have flowered out two phenos of nirvana's northern lights.
Mine smells exactly like that but with a small hint of lime like a refreshing spicy pine tree smell. She's my first grow so we will see but I like what I see so far pictures do no justice lol......
That is a beautiful picture!
Awesome colors.
Thanks bro, she's not an auto but I do have two auto's that will be done about the same time as her. She's my Feminized Northern Lights from Nirvana. I have her in FFOF in a SIP and I started to feed her about three weeks ago with Nova bloom and yesterday started giving straight tap again to flush her out. The rest of the grow was straight PH tap water and FFOF. My two autos are in FFOF and no feeding until a week ago they have been fed twice and only because one of them is a heavy eater. I started them on straight water yesterday too. It's getting exciting over here because there's a lot going on at once lol.
Thanks man so excited to be getting close to harvest on my first plants and the second round up in veg is looking nice and healthy..............
Well done! Throw us a link.Feeling accomplished! Bestseedbank.com is using my Black Rose tree run in an article..
