LEC 315 W or a COB DIY w/4 x 50 watt CREEs 3590s (200 watt) for Flower

[Colo MMJ]

I am looking to try to flower 3 to 4 bigger plants in 25 gallon pot. I might also use a Light Rail 3.5 and turn them a 1/2 turn every day. Ceilings are 8 to 8.5 feet. Going into flower they will be about 4 feet +.

With plants that big, you are going to need that setup per plant. A plant that size can easily suck up 200 to 350 watts. And 25g pots are a waste indoor. I have had 4' to 5' plants in 5' cloth bags. Right now I have my girls in 10 gallon cloth pots and that is more than enough.

Any ballpark on dried yield from 10 gallon cloth pots? Are they black or tan ones with handles? Thanks.

both!

Sorry, that is like asking " how many miles per gallon does a sedan gets?"

Maybe a 100w cmh with the 4 cobs

Something like this in a 100 watt CMH?

I haven't seen that one. The one I bought was more similar to a hid style bulb with a magnetic ballast but it came from years ago on icmag.

Lec 315 is a special horti light. Comparing it to a 100w bulb is like apples and grapes. You'll need both light sources for that big of plants, maybe more. Gotta be a pretty good-sized area just to get 100 gallons of dirt in there.
