Keep my see 1k hps or switch to cmh???

[CroptimusPrime]

These cmh are garbage. Nothing but low grade Reggie Miller.... I've tried everything and the nugs are just no good. View Image

LOL. Looks good, my dude. When I ran CMH back in the retro-HPS days, I noticed not only the plants, but I myself felt better under that natural spectrum.

Ya Ive noticed since I switched to cmh and coco the plants seem much happier and for me it's a little easier to dial new strains.the buds are a little bit smaller but the quality did go up. The frost speaks for itself

Here's a couple shot at day 63 to show how much this light penetrates. The nugs are solid to the bottom with a good defoliation regimen. Also a shot of a firestorm cola.its about the size of a 1 liter bottle.

lovely flowers sturgeongenral. sorry if you already said some where but are you using 2x315's for your 630 ballast or was it DE630's
thanks.

I'm running the nanolux 630s. It's a dual 315. I mix my bulbs with 3100 and 4200k. Here's 2 of the 3 trays in the room

Are most people getting better results with the dual bulb 630, or the de 630? Planning to go half CMH mixed with de 600 hps for my new build

 

[sturgeongeneral]

Ive never tried the de. I don't have the height necessary to run them. I went with the 630s due to how much cooler they run

Your experience with nanolux quality been good read a lot of stuff that seems hit or miss granted most threads are from a few years ago. Have pretty much been set on them just been debating DE vs dual bulb for the. CMH part of things

 

[sturgeongeneral]

Quality has been better than under the 1k hps. Buds are smaller but light is comparable yield wise. Iv been using them for almost a year now and I like them.

 

[sturgeongeneral]

Sour dubb tray on the left has really blown up after I defoliated. 25 days on and I'm gunna have to bend tops to avoid bleaching.

 

[Vash]

There's some dual 500 watt CMH's out. Anyone had any experience with them? Thought about going that route instead of the 1000w de's.
Plants are looking great, SG.
