I'm swapping out 3x600mh and 3x600hps for all cmh 315. And adding a 4th to the flower room (4x315 cmh). Better light than a typical mh or hps, but lower amp draw.

Ceramic HPS is intriguing; your post is the first i've heard of it. I have heard of a 600w Ceramic MH bulb thats coming out though.OK, lets all just forget about that other bulb.....
I figure that I am more likely to move to either LED or to another
315W LEC when I give up my 600W HPS anyway.
LOL
You're still waiting for ceramic grow pots?Ceramic HPS is intriguing; your post is the first i've heard of it. I have heard of a 600w Ceramic MH bulb thats coming out though.
I'd be impressed if it would out perform 2x LEC 315's. Not only would I be impressed but I would probably be a convert Two of either of those bulbs could seriously kick ass with air cooled hoods.
With the hype (so far well deserved hype that is) around all things ceramic- its only a matter of time before our grow tents, vent fans, pots, etc... are all Ceramic too!
It could be the bulb- I don't think its overheating though. Its not felt any warmer than any other digital ballasts i've used.Overheating
Swap a bulb out
Hah will do homie If worst comes to worst one of my buddies has like 5 extra 1000w hps and a few 600w hps setups I can choose from to borrow. I just flipped to bloom so I have like 2 weeks to figure it all out before the light is super important. My 2 LEC315's honestly are probably enough to bloom a 4x8 with- or at the very least to get it going. But I really wanna try this light lmaoSorry to hear that but thank you for sharing Guru.
Let us know what comes of it....it might be us next. :^/
Awesome haul, sounds like a keeper. Those 315's are legit producers and great quality. Cheers.So thanks to all the club 315lec.
Preliminary results:
Buds were put into jars yesterday so they will dry a bit more but they have been drying in a shed for a week for a slow cool dry at temps in the 60's day and 50's at night.
332grams of legit main colas(I mainlined 5 plants in 5 gallon buckets) and I had three other plants in 1 gallon buckets all in a 4x2 tent with a 190 cfm hurricane fan and a 4x16 mountain air filter.
I lost one California Orange plant to Hermies(6th one).
And I chopped one California Orange in a 5 gallon and 1 in a 1 gallon at 8 weeks because of security breech.
oh and 71 grams of larf
I will NEVER go back to my 1000hps even though I never had DE1000. My heat was lower and my draw was lower. I estimate 12oz of real bud.
Thanks Again

no open light and i don't think i would run cooling...not needed.Thanks for the review.
Were you running open or enclosed hoods on the 315?
