OK guys I’m probably overthinking this but I need some opinions.

13x12 flowering room sealed room

the nanolux 630 CMH fixtures are around $400 plus the bulbs which obviously run horizontal.

Prism ballast plus random hood plus bulbs x2 for the same watts puts close enough to not care and just buy the better one.

I am not sold on the nanolux software as I do not want to rely on the Internet etc. so I’m just going to end up buying a timer and everything else anyways it seems to me the individual fixtures would be better for more focus and distribution plus the bulbs would be running vertically instead of horizontally.

The prism ballast would also allow me to put the Balast outside the room in case of heat however I have not run the CMH systems before so I’m not sure if heat is going to be an issue.

I’m already leaning toward the prism set up.

Was going to use 6 630s but maybe 10 singles or 9plus the one nanolux double I already bought

Run 315W fixtures. That way you get better light distribution.

That’s what I was thinking. So many reasons why that seems better. It always feels better to have someone tell you what you already knew for some reason.

I’ve never been able to set something up that was this large and legal. Even though it’s not that large in comparison it’s a large investment for me and i hate getting a project almost done and realizing it would have been better to do it different not even costing much more or less....

Pretty fall colors, good job on that.

I just finished my rare dankness grape ox, lots of pretty colors under the hps, just started some clones of her under my cmh/hps combo, trying to bring out those fall colors like yours.

Just s heads up.
I sent a question to Sun System asking how far from the flowering cannabis tops the 315W LEC should be.

They answered 24 inches.

That's too high for just one lamp in flower.

Maybe veg in a 4x4.

16" over 2.5 x2.5' is max par according to university of Utah testing.

I found 18" to be the sweet spot in my room. Over 3x3.

If I used 3 or more I would likely raise them a bit.

We grow a high light plant. Not all plants would have the same answer. So they gave you a middle of the road guideline.

Going with 3 surrounding her. Day one.

You're exactly right MMG, not all plants will have the same answer, it's always going to vary from girl to girl. We as gardeners need to be able to read our plants and know when something is too much for them. A range of 16"-20" is what's been working in my garden, depending on the plant, of course.
