Tent setup 3x3 - do i have enough light?

[diggs99]

My 315 was within 16-20" max from tops, it really kicked ass over a 2.5x2.5 area at those heights.

I didn't realize people still used HID lighting. It's so 1990's.

I'm an experienced, DIY LED enthusiaist, and I own multiple CMH fixtures.

No doubt....ill always try and keep a space open for my CMH, i love that thing. Not as much as my strips, but its still love

That was a joke kinda...I was recently looking at cmh lights and comparing to qb's...seems they would be too hot for my 3x3 though

my strips

Setup a pair of CMH 315, with higher K value strips to even out the middle and edges....
That, will really fog your monacle.

I was actually considering something sorta similar but different, i was gonna use some high K strips and box around the plant with side lighting, with my 315 up top. I guess i could toss a few up strips up top as well for a laugh and to fog my monacle lol

...what's wrong w quantums...?

My recommendation would be to get a cheap 1000w kit from amazon like the ipower setup, or used from CL, I scored the other day and got an 8" original blockbuster hood, eye hortioux a killer quiet inline fan name brand and a name brand ballast for 100$

I have a double bulb, not double ended, double bulb 315w cmh so 630 total watts, it isnt air cooled tho, if you want I can sell it to you for 80+shipping. Its brand new only turned on for 10 mins, has 2 Phillip's agromax

I’ll buy that 315 cmh from u

Ive been toying with the idea of a 3 sided vert grow with a bare 315 in a 3x3. It would be a jungle

Building my first major grow!!! I’m wanting to use the remote sun system 315’s. Gonna attempt to setup 9 four by eight tables with casters and fill the canopy with the CMH lights. Could you elaborate on the strips you’re talking about? I’ve been out of the loop the last 4 years and don’t wanna overlook something. Any and all advice is truly appreciated.

315 CMH or a simple 260 v1 qb will do the trick.. a mainlining will have single colas everywhere!!!
