Good decision, good attitude. Save up for a Sun System 315 or at least a Phantom LEC. I have both and they work great.

Thank you for your order!
OK, I did it. Could not resist. I just want to check out this tech. 315W!
I went right for Sun Systems, for safety, and am getting an Apollo 4' tent
to use with this new light. It is past time for me to get a second tent.
I will need to rework the man-cave, but have plenty of room

One 315W CMH system might have trouble filling a 4x4' space, but reflective walls will help.
I generally recommend them for 3x3' footprints but you could always add a second one in there. THAT would kill it!

Understood. My 600 did not really fill my existing 4' tent, but the
two Kessil 350s really made that work.
This is a tent that I am less likely to pack to the edges. I am likely to
go with a 3X3 of 5 gal buckets (a return to previous form) and then maybe,
finally, to the 2X2 of larger bins that a 4' tent is properly sized to support.
Thanks for taking the time.

P.S. The other things that I need to do include growing more of things I know I like
(what this tent is for) and another, smaller probably, to grow out a male or two.

I know we've had some people saying they had issues with the old, and new, Phantom ballasts.
I have one of the originals and it's never given me a problem.

Im running mh and hps 4 veg and flowering as well. Lets say I'm going to upgrade my lighting, so should I jump straight to LED COB or there is something worthy around CMH? What to use instead LED? Ur comment above about cmh, sparked some concerns about investing in it. thanks

I was only commenting on the junky HTG light in question, not all CMH/LEC lights. I have 3 CMH lights and they are wonderful (two Sun Systems 315's and a Hydrofarm Phantom CMH).Im running mh and hps 4 veg and flowering as well.

COB's are good too, it all depends on how much you want to spend on new lighting.

Day 32 of 12/12
pulled two clones of the Calio-O(Dutch Passion seeds) that hermied from a mother that is not showing any signs yet. I wondering if was because they were in 1 gallon pots? The mom is in a 5 gallon. I have 3 other plants in the same size pot, a Calio-O from a different mom, a cheese and a early sativa. So far they have no nanners.
I am worried about light penetration through the canopy. Tent is 4x2 with one 315cmh.
Any thoughts?

How far from the tops do you have your light?

Looking good in there. The shorter one's on the right (1st pic) look about the perfect height for where the light is. The taller one's on the left are suffering though. If you can, bring the light up or add some light on that end like a COB or something. Looks about the right height for the shorter one's on the right for coverage but the angle on the left side at that height isn't going to get much light to those buds. Do you have some height to move it up? They can grow decent bud to 30" down at 20-22" above the canopy so you'd still be alright for penetration imo.

Help what to do. The 2 shaman I thought were male seem to both be female, one for sure, more than likely the other is too. Since no nuts.
I burnt these girls about 3 weeks ago and now bushes. 10 days flip the room is a solid mass.
Ok trim them down or what suggestion much appreciated. The tall ones are bulk and wwidow
Major stretch on these. Shaman are just getting fatter with tight nodes bad pic sorry shams in front

Pic is 24 ". Light is now 20 " fellow RIU friends
Well decided to defoliate about 15/20% of middle leaves remove branches with few nodes not tight and lst. Lollipop bottom like. This is what I am going by. I notice someone else is having same issue.

20-24" above is fine. You'll have to decide but it looks like they have some more stretching to do so they'll be very tight in there. If I had to choose between defoliation and pulling a plant or two I'd cull to give the remaining plants room vs. defoliation. I'd pick the best looking/smelling one's and cull a couple if it gets too tight.

Think that's what I am going to do is cull or finish the two indica in my veg. yet do some defo too. They for sure have more stretching. Guess it's a good problem lol
