I suggest an external ballastI'm thinking of getting a 315cmh soon, will it be too hot in 2x4x5? 4in exhaust fan pulling air out into a 4in carbon filter..

Please let us know. If ya got a link would like to follow..I put two Hortilux 315 cmh in my tent on the right and middle lamp. Its been a week @ 12/12. These clones have all been run before and I mixed them up so some will be Hortilux and some will be the phillips 3K. Not very scientific but I wanted to try this bulb.View attachment 4226483 View attachment 4226486
I had one in a 2x2x4 with a 4” filter and fan set up.I'm thinking of getting a 315cmh soon, will it be too hot in 2x4x5? 4in exhaust fan pulling air out into a 4in carbon filter..
What frequency/temp is it? 3100k?I put two Hortilux 315 cmh in my tent on the right and middle lamp. Its been a week @ 12/12.

Have 15 315s various hoodsSo 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?
In my mind,what I see in my grows with them...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??
You use the 1kw DE CMH? How does that compare?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.Have 15 315s various hoods

never listen to the hydro shop guysI 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..
Na,it just don't make sense to me for some reason..You use the 1kw DE CMH? How does that compare?
You got tall ceilings? IMO that's when it works bestNa,it just don't make sense to me for some reason..
Na,I can see that for sure,cause the 630lec has to be ran a tad higher than the normal ..You got tall ceilings? IMO that's when it works best
You ever run the gavita flex? I been lookin at them for a possible DE upgrade over my 600w hps, i hear they can be run in 7foot rooms is that right?Na,I can see that for sure,cause the 630lec has to be ran a tad higher than the normal ..
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.What's the spectrum of the hortilux
