not impressed with the 315cmh .. trich production was up but density and yield where shit ... granted i switched at 30 day mark in flower because my 600hps ballast crapped out .. so they only got 30 days under the 315 but so far i'm disppointed in the cmh .... i usually pull 16+ zips from 600hps ..... got 8 this trip from the 315cmh .. the foot print is like 4 x4 ..... gonna use it a few more runs to see what tweaks i can make to get what i had before in quality ... these buds look like shit LOL loose n fluffy aint it !!! any advice is very welcomed! because that kind of loss is not acceptable, i'm gonna pick up a new hps ballast just to have on hand.
I am running 2 315's so 630 watts and I love the results. My last three grows have been 24.5, 17 and 26.5 zips.
Nugs are tight and heavy.

Not grown on se 315cmh but on growers choice de 630w cmh 3kR bulbs. on ebay 1000w de ballast and hood. Quality frost game up %100. Bud density game down from traditional hps.
I am on the fence with bud density because when I grew critical widow they were rock hard nuggets. My last three runs were afgooey, kish, blue balls and two seedsman white widow, none have ever been super dense strains for me. The frost seems to be way better. Before this i was strictly 1000w hps in flower with magnetic ballasts. The lack of heat and lower cost of operation is still quite impressive. I have switched my flower area to 240v and you can feel the heat difference between the 120v and 240v with the back of my hand on the ballast. The 120v does not get hot but the 240v runs much much cooler. I wish I had a digital thermometer just to see the difference. Nice run @killerx

Here's what's going on in the 4 X 4 under the two Nanolux 315's.

Two days in and we are starting to stretch. If she stretches like her mother, we should see around 12 to 14 inch stretch on the mains and 6 to 9 on the secondary's. See more tying down in my future.

Still relocating bud sites to get complete fill in.

Noticed some trim work to be done, but going to wait a few more days before anymore work is done on her. Fan leaves are getting massive, this is a very sativa dominate Pheno. This is the best growth we've have had indoors, having a hard time believing that it was only 10 days ago that that the very heavy defoliation was completed. Believing it has to be the root system, it has only been 28 days (4/4) since transplant from the 3 gallon Smart Pot to the 10 gallon SP. Had roots growing out of the sides of the pots 8 days after transplanting. And every day they are sticking out of the lower half of the SP's. This root system has to be just massive, I fucking love it. Taken on 4/12

My G/F was here last Sunday when I did the defo and when she came back this Friday, she thought it was a different plant. Not sure what I am doing right but I ain't gonna stop.

Use RO or rain water, I just started feeding them at 0.9 EC (450 ppm), prior to Monday was only at 0.65 EC (325 ppm). Epsom @ 0.75 grams, Cal/Magic @ 2 ml, Canna A&B @ 4.5 ml, Rhizotonic @ 4 ml, Cannazym @ 9 ml, drip clean, Mammoth @ 0.6 ml per gallon. Two cycles with three start times per cycle, per day. Hand water two days a week using Great White one day and on the second day it's Great White and Subculture M. Refilling the rez every 2.5 to 3 days, that was during veg, not sure what this refill regime will be until I see how they uptake over the next week or so.

Need to work on her watering schedule, the two full cycles are just a tad bit too much at this time. Thinking just reducing times a bit, still keep two cycles per day but with reduced times. Expect within the next week or so to begin increasing the times slowly.
I'm happy! upload_2018-5-2_9-8-56.gif

Breaking down after this run, going on vaca after cure starts. I'm gonna try some new Greenpoint strains next round.. i did grab 5 clones of the blue dream though, just in case.... ;)
Got me some Greenpoint beans going now under 2 315s and 3 separate 3 cob rails inside an 8x4. Have heard nothing but good about Greenpoint, I picked up quite a few packs.

I'm thinking of popping jelly pie next- how about you?
I wish I had a pack of jelly pie, all the JP I've seen looks fire, they sold out the early morning of 4/20, I was planning on snatching some during the sale but they were gone when the sale started.
I've got a bunch of their s1's going, Gorilla Glue #4, Purple Punch, Gelato #45, Dos-si-dos, and Mimosa.
