I'm looking for some feedback on a 315 watt Phantom CMH.......good, bad or ugly?

I’ve been using sun system 315 CMH for over 3 years and had very good results.
The down fall about the sun system CMH is that the reflector will fade on you after a year. I switched to commercial 315 because you can change out the reflector.
I called this the 315 killer room, here are some pics of OG Paris on week SEVEN a month ago. Harvest 2.5lbs on a 315:shock: Amazing what a 315 can do!

anyone think a 630 cmh over a open 3x4 would be overkill? I have been heavily using LED and think these might be worth looking at. I just picked up a double ended 630w unit. Other then this thread, there doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot on this subject matter.

Soooooo, 1120 grams from a 315. Come on now, thats 3.5 g/w. That would make you the messiah of a new religion. Hell even id follow you blindly.

I have posted flowers grown under the Phillips 315 LEC 3100k and said they were frostier than with the Hortilux 600Super Hps alone.

And showed that it works as a finishing bulb for the last two weeks and that it is a great supplemental lamp to the hps.

The colors and smells and flavors were very pronounced and the plants stayed greener through finish.

Well the difference may be more negligible than I thought. I have been growing with only the 600 super hps and the plants have been equally frosty and even more potent on average for months of weekly and bi weekly harvests.

Here is a Black Widow x Blue Lemon Thai flowered under only the Hortilux 600 Super Hps.

She smells pungent and fruity. And she is very sticky.

Been watching your grows for a while now mmg and I have to say that looks like one of your best plants.

High and good evening.
I purchased 4 315w Phantom CMH kits with Philips 3100k bulbs in Jan 2017.
I am not a fan of the ballasts.

Two of the four ballasts are toast.
Meaning one day one lamp didnt come on.

Then a couple weeks later another went.
I would suggest the Sun Sustems 120v 315w CMH core (remote) ballast. (Non digital).

I keep reading this here but mine was plugged into a digital Titan light controller and turns back on after short and long power outages every time. I never had to touch it or the ballast through multiple power outages.

I spoke with Nanolux and if the power goes out, be it for 1 min or 10 hours, if the lamp is plugged in it will restart after it cools down.
I am not sure if this is an auto restrike or not.

If I shut the units down for any reason, it will restrike in about 15 to 20 min after cool down.

I should have mentioned I was using a galaxy ballast.
