It is nice to see we agree with each other..
Well actually we don't:
"...by the way, does anyone know if the philips cdm-tp agro 315W 930 is suited for running in an open reflector?". - King Rat

Thanks for your input.
So do I understand it right?
315W CMH IS suitable for open reflectors as long as its the original Philips AGRO ?
I've got some cookies under a 1k hps and under a 630 cmh.
Awesome looking buds. Just wondering if the taste an the high was any different between the two lights?I've got some forum cookies under a 1k hps and under a 630 cmh.

Last night just before sleep something came to my mind.
Is it possible that cmh provides a healthier (sterile) environment for the plants?
Like powdery mildew and mold. Due to the higher UVA/UVB emitted from cmh's especially the Philips Agro bulb. Is there a chance it kills off the spores, or is it not strong enough?
would like to see someone who's grow room regularly visited by PM or mold and what happens then when using cmh.
EyeHortilux MH Blue; check it out.CMH ...throws the closest natural spectrum of any currently available bulb...CMH has a 96/100 rating, meaning it VERY closely replicate natural light. No other bulb comes close.
Hey dank.frank!
EyeHortilux MH Blue; check it out.
Dirt Bag you seem to be pretty confident that a double jacketed bulb was made by Phillips without UV block. Dirt Bag where did you get the info that "Agro" means no fade block? I have a "Agro" bulb that does say "UV block"; purchased from Growers House. It's looks the exact same (bulb and box) as you've posted, on reverse side of bulb mine says "UV block". Just more foolish fan boy disinformation?
The Hortiux CMH bulb is jacketed with quartz.
Again use the HPS for flowering weight, then finish last 20 days of crop flowering cycle with MH Blue. The HPS will give more weight and the MH Blue is just a better bulb for quality over the CMH. The fans boys keep coming back saying that the CMH is better than HPS; well I'm not saying just the HPS. I'm saying the MH Blue in combo with HPS is better, was already around; and made for plants. lol
Again the future of weed growing isn't just dump the entire rainbow on a plant everyday of it's life. The future will be specific light wavelengths for specific times in growth cycle. The best way to do this cheaply and with equipment most of us already have or can acquire cheaply is HPS/MH Blue.
Take a moment to think into the future. The planet is over populated and over polluted. The science of growing plants with artificial lights is just really getting started. The science behind specific spectrum tailored lighting is really also taking off. One day in the future you'll have the knowledge and bulbs to give plants exactly the light wave lengths they want and need. When this day comes you'll just be wasting energy; most likely fossil fuels, dumping the entire rainbow down on your plants during times they would prefer a more tailored spectrum. Now I'll go back to the HPS and MH Blue and say again this is the best that's available at this time to specific wave lengths for specific times in growth cycle.
now when putting 2 of these 315w CMH's at the place you'd run a 600MH you either double your output for nearly the same amount of electricity and get more even canopy penetration (due to 2 lights) or just put 1 cmh 315W to replace that 600W MH and get the same output for a half of the electricity used.
