would one of these sufficiently cover a 3x3 area? i'm considering buying two of them to do a 3x3 sea of green under each (18 sq ft total) with about 49 plants under each no veg from clone.

the 315 seems to be the logical choice for what I aim to do that guy from eco sunlight sure is cheap for their cobs & they look attractive until you weigh a few issues & i did just that the main issue is that no one here has used one a-z on a grow they are using the Chinese drivers on the Cree stuff so who knows how long that will last & if you have a problem how do you get it resolved??? I think the guy uses your own desire to get that good deal as leverage to "set the hook" I just don't picture him as a stand up individual I think I'm gonna stick to my plan &use the 315 as a stepping stone to an amare & not let my own greed cloud my better judgment meanwhile here is the pic I tried to post yesterday of my 29"x29" scrog that I want the 315 for it's gonna take me about a month or so but I'll get there this is a single plant in a waterfarmimage.jpeg

It will blow a 400 hps out of the water. Size quality and density will improve drastically over then 400hps. i grow bigger buds(SIZE) under the lec then with my 1000w hps (yield was slightly better with the 1000w)
I have been yielding between 12 and 16oz per 315. I was never able to hit that with a 400 and if i did it was not that dense and had alot of under developed pop corn buds.
Now i know there are people that can kill it with a 400w but iam not one of them. Lec is where its at intill cob is affordable.

hey Bob what are you growing in & what light/ballast do you use I've found 3 with the square wave but even though I hear there were some problems with the earlier hydro farm/ phantom ballast they've got it fixed even looked at the ceramic science conversion which has the 50-60 hz frequency but saw no mention of square wave local hydro shop says he will match growehouse's price on the phantom,ballast,reflector,bulb & maybe after thanksgiving deal might get sweeter

I run sun system lec with the Philips 3100k bulb.
I grow in Ocean forest soil. (i thought about going to DWC but i think my temps are to high 5 months out of the year)
i have about 6 different strains none of them are huge yeilders but all of them are top notch.
I have Headband, Master Kush, northern lights, golden goat, and chem dog. I also have green Crack that i haven't flowered out.
In my neck of the woods genetics are hard to come by so i have pieced together everything i have. I wish it was just as easy as going down to the local club and picking up a new strain.

Pretty sure if i had a high yielding strain i would be consistently over 1 lb per light.

As for the Phantom i looked at one at a local shop and it seemed fine i was thinking about picking a few up because they are quite a bit cheaper then the sun system. Im not sure about the other brands.

I found a galaxy that had the square wave but 270v. I've made it through some hot stuff as I'm in cen- cal we've had at 1 point several days on end over 105 I have no air but run light at night the waterfarm hasn't missed a lick this my first dwc type grow changed over from e&f coco & so far no regrets chemdawg is on my radar we had a cut of 707- headband that would rock your socks off after growing wwxbb & a few other huge yielders I avoid them because sure you end with a bucket of buds it's just no one wants it I'm wanting to take a medium yielder & use the waterfarm & the 315 lec & get the most I can the pinkpanties I'm growing now is a notorious poor yielder never more than 2 zips in e&f well it ain't over until dried & weighed but I think I'm gonna triple that the 315 is gonna be the icing on the cake my goal a small productive grow of good quality product & 12+ zip harvest is very acceptable if I was to need more I could run 2 of these setups at roughly the cost of running a single 600w.hps & a good bit cheaper than a 1000w.hps I'm almost there

speaking of heat & dwc/ waterfarm here is th- seeds mkultraXbubblegum outdoors in a waterfarm & I seriously think using my low ppm 35-65 tap water has just enough stuff in it to hold off bacteria but good enough to not prevent plant development this plant has been out in the sun for awhile in July and August which are hot again no issues with the waterfarm using a blend of gh-3 part nutes & soul synthetic nutes also growing tomatoes in home made waterfarms with my waste nutes it was always my biggest fear of dwc but so far so good image.jpegimage.jpeg

Monday I will chop the autos. The 315 did well for me considering the spider mite issues. Going to redo the room I think. 7/16 plywood paint flat white and floor with flat white tile I bought. Here is a pic of the shorty's and my new kids at 13 days. They are vegging under the 300 Mars (thanks @GroErr ) great little veg light. Pics of some auto colas and the babies

Can anyone give some advice on when to flip to 12/12 with a 315 CHM?
I have a 4x2x7 tent
Hurricane 190cfm with a 4"x16" Mountain air
Temps never above 80(76 average) and RH is 40%-50%
FFOF soil
FF wholly mackerel, grow big, big bloom I will use tiger bloom(I have had nice results with this)
I had a battle with thrips that azomax and neem did nothing but the Monterey Garden with Spinosad has worked with two foliar drenching
7 plants have been manifolded total height 14"-16" so far light is 16 inches from canopy
1 cheese
3 critical widow
2 cali orange
1 easy sativa left over from outdoor

I am wondering about stretch with these lights?
I have only flowered under 1000hps in a bigger space.

I want the plants to veg a little longer since the inter nodal spacing is actually tightening up as they veg.
I am not in a hurry but I am worried that they may stretch too much since it is only a 315 smh?

Can I lower the light? I know the 30 second rule with his but these lights do not throw heat but I am worried about burning the tops if I get any closer?

Thanks for any advice with this new light source.

Battle is over with the cooties ( spider mites). Chopped 5 of 6 auto at 57 days. I put the last of auto outside washed the crap. Hoping for best it's got two weeks. I think I should get 6/zips out with one left I know it will do 1 zip will update 57.8gs so far
Got some
pretty good size nugs.

Cleaning room good and spraying with ammo. It's pesticide I had when farming kills the shit out of any bug. 24 hours it is harmless to humans. Let air out two days wipe down with alcohol, caulk, line my room with orca I decided. Put flat white tile on floor. Put 4 girls 3 weeks into flower under the 315.

Here is the five hanging. Bad pic. My little babies 15 days old fat girls. Advice is welcome I know pic sucks what's everyone think? 3 zips 4,5,,6 maybe
Happy growing.
315 did well for having as many as 13 girls she was nesting at one point.

I was thinking of the ceramic science conversion with Phillips LEC bulb using a parabolic/parasol reflector where the bulb points down. I can get that all for about $290 from Growers House.

plantlightinghydroponics has the phantom/ hydro farm square wave low frequency ballast,bulb & reflector for $326.00 & my local hydro store says he will match the price I'm sure someone around here is running the ceramic science conversion I would convert & use my current reflector & save some but I'm thinking of running 2 setups one with headband the other with stardawg picked up babies todayimage.jpeg

$329.99 at that web site but that is a good price. I have hydropharm reflectors and the bulb is horizontal . The phantom deal is good but the parabolic is about 45" wide for more coverage.
