Found some of my old lights, two Philips MasterColour CDM-T 70 Watt and one Osram Powerball 35 Watt. Can‘t remember, if they were good, because I used an A-Wing with a 600 Watt Powerball which produced very big buds as prime light source.
Thinking about using one or two in the next grow, maybe with led.
I made a lot of mistakes this season and the buds are so small, that I was wondering if I could get better results with CDMs.

The buds are way to small, don‘t you think so?

Taking a smoking break and using my alcohol extract for good sleep the next days.
Tried dronabinol from a pharmacy yesterday but it made me sleepy today.
Smoked the first samples 8 Miles High the last days. Hope, that it gets better after some curing. It produces to much munchies for my taste.

do a mixture of your cdm and led . can you hang the cdm vertical ? look for the universal mounting logo on the box ? are the bulbs with uv protection glass ?

A mixture sounds good. I would fix it horizontally. The tent walls are pulled inwards by the negative pressure and the heat generated by the lamps is too risky for me.
I don’t think, the glass is UV protected.
I had bought construction spotlights and converted them. My main concern was to have protection in case the bulbs burst. I hadn't thought about UV light at all.

the cdms i use have double casing in case of failure and a uvb and uv c blocking glass . do you have accurate spectral diagrams of the bulbs output ? what base connectors and ballasts do they use ?

Sounds safe.
I put the whole thing together over a decade ago and can no longer remember details. The box with the items is not stored with me so I can only show the photos. I also have a photo of one power supply unit.

Oil or alcohol?

Alcohol would be easy to evaporate off. ;)
It is Miglyol, a synthetic oil.
But I can tell you, that dronabinol has no psychedelic for me or my friend, who gave me this bottle.
The only difference I noticed is, that it helps with my sleep and unfortunately made me sleepy the next day. Need to do more tests, to know if it has this effect on the next day everytime for me or not. My alcohol extract from two different plants has two different effects. One is without hangover, the other on produces a hangover the next day.
