So I'm grabbed a 4x8 tent
And I have 3 cmh fixtures 2 philips@3100k and 1 ushio@4200k
1 vertical nanolux fixture
2 horizontal commercial fixtures

So what I'm thinking is
Horizontal- vertical- Horizontal

But my question is witch orientation for bulb color.
Should I go for uniformity from the beginning
3100k - 4200k - 3100k
Or should I be testing the over lap and go
3100k-3100k-4200k

If someone has experience running multiple bulb configurations and has an opinion on if the 4200k bulb is worth experimenting with or not..
Should I be ordering a third philips 3100k?

Purely anecdotal but the wider spectrum hortilux didn't seem to put as much girth as the Phillips 31k. I use the hortilux for first and last two weeks, now. It does seem to lay down more frost though. They claim 10% more uv than the rest of the bulbs on the market:confused:

Have 15 315s various hoods
The vert mount destroys the horizontal. Further the wide spread horizontal are terrible for 315s.

Gonna b replacing my 1ks w 630lec. Anxious to see how they compare.
I'm sure it's covered n this thread but if anyone can chime in... Do 630's compete w 1k sehps??

In my mind,what I see in my grows with them...
They perform 15%-25% better than a 600 sehps, so I would think that helps when compared to a 1k sehps

I know Philip's designed the cmh to burn vertical.
My first fixture was the nanolux

?Then I was told in the hydro shop that the plants receive more light from a horizontal bulb?
Didn't make sense to me..

What's the spectrum of the hortilux
@dangledo
I believe it's closer to the 4200 than the 3100 but is not in writing. At least that i can find. I've heard and read that on forums, but haven't seen any numbers from hortilux themselves. Also heard it's about in-between the two, so i really don't know. The Phillips definitely looks more orange.

I can't say I've looked to hard into that so take it with a grain of salt
