I built a room that's 3'4" x 4'4" x 6ft, 15 square feet. I'm trying to get the most from this space and am wondering if a 630w CMH setup would be perfect? I'd have some ventilation and do have some height because I train my plants down low. I am in Canada and I'm wondering if you guys could take a look at this and tell me if it's a bit too expensive for the quality? Are there better ways for me to do a CMH setup for my space cheaper? http://www.growlights.ca/growlights/grow-light-kits/ceramic-metal-halide-lights-cmh/fusion-series-630w-cmh-ceramic-metal-halide-complete-kit-2-x-315w.html

i'm in a 3x4 and 1 315 is not enough. now i have a 315 and a 400 MH blue daylight. much better. 2 315's would give a better spread i would think instead of one 630.


you'll have to.

Yeah, that's what I've been also reading. I'm thinking about going with 2 bare bulbs for now to keep costs lower..instead of having to buy 2 reflectors. Thoughts?

unless you are growing vertically, bare bulbs will be much less efficient than reflectors.

the 315 was designed to be run vertically oriented in a reflector FYI
