hi people, can't really find anything specific to vert on this subject, but i usually run a single 600W HPS with a 250w MH supplementary lighting and do ok - 4x4 tent (best was a touch under 22)
Thinking about making the switch to cmh but its ultra costly here in my neck of the earth ($620), which im prepared to pay if worth it, Just not sure about the penetration compared to 600W hps? Cant get any dual ballasts here either so thats out of the question or i would just run two 315w's
heat is always a slight issue and the plants usually get upset at first when introduced to much more intense light combined with a lot more heat (compared to when just under 250w MH). Thinking CMH might be the way to go to reduce such side effects...
Thoughts?
Basically i guess the question here is; Will a 315W CMH penetrate and spread light as well or better than a 600W HPS in a 4x4 vert setup? With less heat?
Cheers
