Cmh With Led

[Brownboi419]

hello I was wondering if anyone has done any grows with cmh and led together for flower?

What kind of LED are you talking about? Any time you add LED it's a good thing.

 

[dnewsome2]

What size is your grow area? How many watts is your CMH?

 

[dnewsome2]

What Kelvin is your CMH emitting?

No but i will be doing it soon :)

Was thinking something like this or similar in price Range..

What size is your grow area? How many watts is your CMH?

My flower area is 4x8 gorilla grow tent and will be 4K and 3k lights

No but i will be doing it soon :)

I plan on doing it aswell just was asking for any input first lol

I think I might get a light that had more red to it for flower. You could always swap out a couple of your CMH to 3100 k. Wondering how many watts your lights are pushing total.gp/aw/d/B00INM0DSG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502060102&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=galaxyhydro+600&dpPl=1&dpID=51zs9ALw4oL&ref=plSrch

How many watts per square foot are you covering it may not even be necessary to add an LED.

 

[Brownboi419]

This is what kind of cmh I plan on getting 3 to cover 4x8

 

[Brownboi419]

Any recommendations on LEDs?

 

[Brownboi419]

Or if it would be of any benefit to even have LED in there with the cmh

 

[dnewsome2]

So that sounds like about 29.5 watts per square foot. I would definitely add some Led. Maybe like two of the 600s that would give you 500 more true watts per square foot. That will put you up to about 45 true watts per square foot that would be killer. Take a look at the galaxyhydro 600.

Is this the one you are talking about ?

Gonna try 630s in the gavitas?

Nice would be interesting see out come of that grow

Yeah most people will tell you it's junk. The fact is all the lower end LEDs you could call junk for some reason or another. I like that one because it has 3 watt LEDs it's more efficient as far as heat and electricity and it's not blasting unusable light when it says full spectrum they mean full plant Spectrum. plus it has a ton of great red nm for flower and it includes UV and ir. Any of them will work I would just try to get something heavy in the red for flower.

Thank you that is the purpose of this thread is to learn more and hopefully help others along with my self. I had no idea that each LED light could be watts and do they give off heat?i like the idea of giving off some more red uv the LEDs will be used only during flower along with the cmh. Now could I possibly fit 3 315w cmh and 3 600 watt galaxy hydro led in the 4x8?

I think to 600 would probably be sufficient. You're going to be stuffing a lot of lights in that 4 by 8 LOL. Those LED lights though you can hang them on their side.
