I really appreciate the reply. Its about 7.5 feet. I'm going to push air into attic. The incoming air will come from bedroom. Either through door gap or ill crack it slightly. The closest isn't air tight or light tight. Never had any seeds or anything due to light leaks. My unit is upstairs so hot is norm at this time of year. How hot does that 315 cmh get? If I need to ill run a eight inch fan.
You have good height but if you're planning to run any more than 2x 315's in there I think you'll either need an AC unit or a better way to bring in cooler air, like a 6" intake/inline fan. Don't think a crack in the door would cut it. The heat is somewhere between hps and LED's so if you're running hps it'll be cooler by a couple of degrees.

I'm only going to run one light. See how it goes. The cob option is next choice. Looking at PLC 250w bar using crees 3590. I run a 190w from area 51. It covers about 2 square feet. The cmh may cove 9 sq/ft. The cob set up may cover my 2x4 tray.

You seem to have both light systems dialed in. Do you have a preference?

Oh you'll be fine with one light in there, I was thinking 2 of them which would cover off 3.5 x 7' well :) The LEC will cover 3x3 well and stretch to 3.5 x 3.5' or 12 sq. ft. if you run it a little higher like 24". That PLC bar would cover 2x4' nicely, I like the look of those.

I like both but leaning towards the COBs for quality/terps and after a couple of runs they're producing very well, haven't really pushed them yet. I think they can out-produce the LEC with the 3x 100w bars in a 3x4'. I like the extra heat of the CMH in winter though and they can produce a lb. if you're growing for weight. Both can produce top grade bud, going to mix them next run just to see if there's any notable differences with the mixed spectrum. I had a productive run mixing up spectrum in my 2x2 tent a while back, 6x 1gal pulled 6.3 zips. Total accident, was just adding some CFL and LED bulbs for heat so ended up mixing 2700k/3000k/4000k and they blew up.

Great feedback G. Thanks for taking time out to answer my questions. That cob by greengene is looking good. I may not even need the 6in fan. Need to save a little more but i thing its worth it. Thanks for the info I've made my choice. Cobs here I come. Thanks again. Peace.

BTW. When you chop. Can we get a pic of the plant trimmed up? I'm a sucker for naked ladies.

Cool that'll be a nice setup, worth saving up for and pay back over time. Lol, will trim up one or two, that Plemon looks like an easy trim and coming out tomorrow :)

Pulled the Plemon and DOG last night when the lights came on at Day 57. Had to go out so no time to rough-trim and hang they'll get a hair cut and chop today.

The Plemon is a beautiful pheno, density, smell, vigor, quick finish, no popcorn, decent buds all the way down. A little quick dry bud tasted earthy, musky with some sweet flavours on exhale. Kind of reminds me of a bubba kush I grew out about 3 years ago. Have a really vigorous clone that will fit into the line up a couple of rounds out, with some training this thing should pull 1 oz..of dank per gal of medium.

DOG was looking rough towards the end, a little droopy by the time I pulled it. More buds than I was thinking, small, dense and smells good, haven't tried a sampler yet. Only thing with this pheno and why it looks rough is it got PM early on in veg and suffered throughout flowering, was able to keep it in check but the spraying every week made it look like shit by the end. Will be looking for another pheno at some point, lots of seeds left :)

Fireballs and Blue Ripper at Day 57, a few more days. not long for the Fireballs, will be checking it daily, 2-3 more days should do it. Centered them under the COBs so they're getting lots of photons for the finish. That Fireballs is going to pull in the 3 zips range, buds are like rocks and considering it's sitting on the floor vs. the Blue Ripper sitting on a 10" stool, it's a very large plant for 3gal. The Blue Ripper buds are as dense as I've seen them and heading for a record yield on a grams per gallon of medium scale. COBs are here to stay :)

Just bought Jacks Hydro. Going to run the 321 recipe. Using up my old stuff first. Tired of over paying for water in a bottle.
It seems to do the job for sure. If they had distribution/retailers up here I'd continue using them but a recent email from them tells me they have no plans to get a distribution network going in Canada, it gets expensive with shipping, not worthwhile. Not a big deal for me cost wise because I use so little but it would be nice to have a lower cost product that does the same thing. I've found another Canadian company that looks like they may have some similar products at dirt cheap prices like Jack's and they have local retailers, may give them a shot. They'll all work, just a matter of dialing it into your environment.
