Anyone ever go from two 315s to COBs?
Yes, I was running 2x 315's covering off ~3.5x7'. Switched to 600w of 3590 Tasty LED's. About the same production, maybe a little more under the 3590's, density tends to be a little better. If you swapped out watt-for-watt you should be fine, quality/terps is outstanding. 400w of 3590 or V29's in a 3x4' should be good (recommend 30w/sq./ft.+) as long as the fixture/config can provide appropriate coverage in that footprint.

Hey guys/gals, need some honest advice on 315s. Is the majority vote that "Sun Systems 315 LEC" the top of the line with the Phillips Bulb..
There are so many that are so different in price that can even run that bulb,that are much cheaper..Thanks for any help,,have a great day,much love and peace:peace::blsmoke:
Cycloptics is supposed to be a better reflector. Philips bulb too.

what K value did you go with for your COBs?

You can't be saying that as long as we use a good grow light of any kind it can grow good weed? What will I spend hours and hours reading, saving money and arguing about my way better results I can get because of a different light bulb?

I guess I am going back to the flushing and defoliation threads. You ruined it now with those beautifully grown plants under those ice cold horrible cobs. Damn! I'm going to shoot out my new 315 with a bee bee gun. Hps all round! Lol.

Lol, well sort of... to a point. I switched from blurples for flowering ~3 years ago, you won't see me flowering with those, may as well hang up Xmas lights or patio lanterns ;)

Here's a flower room update pic with the 600w Hortilux Blue, 600w Hortilux Super HPS and of course the 315w Phillips LEC 3100k with the new Galaxy ballast and Sun System remote reflector.

And here is the OG Kush x Trainwreck.

I stopped feeding her after taper about a week ago. She has received only well water 2x. I mention this because the plant is remaining so green and vibrant for the most part even though her buds were 90% cloudy trich's and some degradation started. She should be peaked and ready after a nights sleep.

Here is a mid canopy bud. Resin gland production is just awesome under the LEC I tells ya. :-)

My first 315 flowers. Resin production and color definitely trumps hps and the buds all came out nice and chunky. Nice and dense pretty much all the way down. Pretty much comparable to a 600w with slightly less yield, which makes sense.

Trying cobs next, after that I'll make a determination on what I want to switch my main room with. Either way the 36% efficiency along with all the heat is going bye bye.

nice run @MistaRasta not to rain on your parade but all lights output the same amount of heat, the only factor that matters is how many watts you use(first law of thermodynamics), 1 watt = 3.412 BTU , so unless you are planning on using less watts the a/c requirements will be the same.

If I put a 600w in that tent bare bulb my temps would be around 90-93. The 315 kept it around 78 the whole run.
