Theres a Canadian suppliers thread pinned to the top of the Canadian patients section. Lots of good places many board members have used. Off the top of my head growlights.ca has a wide selection of SE and DE CMH in both 315 and 630W. Free shipping for orders over $99. I have used them numerous times without issue. Quick turnaround and shipping. Others may be able to recommend something as well. Best of luck.

Just went with Amazon and bought 2x vivosun 315s
1x 3100k
1x 4200k
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07J5WQQGJ/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A2PQGFJXAT8J9K&psc=1
600.00 for 2(with bulbs), not overly cheap but should produce nicely.

I got my last light in Canada from here:
https://www.horticulturelightinggroup.ca/
These LEDs work amazing use 50% the wattage and last forever. I will never change a bulb again in my grow room.

That's about as cheap as you're goin to get a CMH. I've replaced 1,600w HPS/MH with 945w (3x315)of CMH and I'm loving the results

Everything went up about 30 percent. Some people that sell supplies forget who was supporting them for years before legalizing

Ya i looked hard at the HLGs but they are pricey, the HLG 100 is 200.00.
Maybe in the future i will go this route, i also love the timber lights.

I also looked at the 945w, felt it was gonna be a little too much for my space, hoping the 2x 315s will give me nice coverage

love them , the plants grew shorter with tighter nodes
and the buds were bigger and stinkier.i have 6 altogether
the other 2 came from the local grow shop and have ushio3000k
bulbs.the vivosun lamps are using the bulbs that came with the
lights.cheap bulbs but grew great weed last time so i'll try again.
alot of people say you have to have the philips bulbs, but as i replace them i'll upgrade.
right now still grows great weed so i'll see how it goes.

I saw on their US site they now have an HLG600. Not too sure if there's any difference aside from the extra 50W. Seems to be around the same price. Damn things are getting to be like computers in the 90s. A year after ya get one a better one comes out lol. Id love to get some quantum boards eventually.

Ya i discussed this with another grower , it would suck to spend a boatload of cash on the newest tech, only to see newer better stuff come out 6 months later lol
I do think i will eventually gravitate towards leds/cobs, not saying i wont always have a hps or cmh kicking around too lol
I like the idea of easier temp control and efficiency

I have the 600-H from growerslights.com . Fucking BEAST of a light. Amazing LED, fully dimable, puts a single ended 1000w HPS to SHAME!!!! It also puts the 550 to shame and is like 2/3's the price. I want another one lol.
