it's time for something new

[Lordhooha]

Just got my cmh to throw in my experiment room to see how it does compared to my led rooms. Time will tell. I'll keep everyone posted.

Got this light hung in my experiment room. Its bright like the sun. Holy shit its bright I'm getting a excited about these de cmh lights time to clean this room out and start some seeds. Its. Even awhile since I ran traditional style lights.

Yah the cmh or ceramic metal halides are suppose to run slightly cooler than hps and have a better spectrum, provides a good bit of uv, has some of the highest cri measurements there are several others advantages but I’m running the de 630 4K and here’s the spectrum for it. I run a lot of leds I test a lot of gear it’s the whole reason for this room if it’s good and worth it I make the change. I always try to get better quality for me and my patience because like me they’re veterans.

I’m hoping this tiny sun inspires me to make a change. Judging on the start up it’s going rock.

Best thing is I got the ballast and hood that can do 630 cmh or 1000 watt de cmh so that’s a plus.

Just curious. Can I run a 1000w de cmh in what I have now?
I have a de hood and a 1000w dimmable digital ballast. Sorry, I didn't google shit.

No you would need a cmh ballast. Regular digital ballast are high frequency. Cmh are low frequency square wave ballast.

Yah I actually swapped that de out for two nanolux 315's with hortilux bulbs. The de was too much for the height I have in that room.

Yeah height problems suck I’m trying to decide what I’m going to use to flower. I’m using t5s for veg. I was wanting to go with like $100 led to start out because I’m on a tight budget but I’m not sure I’ve got enough room.

In my rooms I have a total of 7.5 ft which after lights and plants doesn't leave much room. I'm liking cmh though. Sunplix has a sale on their 315's I know.
