Nice! what tent is that? It's definitely stronger than the one I use. The LEC fixtures are heavy for a regular tent frame.Cedar 2x4 and metal conduit. I've got 12 315W in this 20 X 10 tent.

Here's what I use - veg only but hopefully getting them into flower soon. Really digging it in veg couldn't imagine going back to MH
edit to add - using econowings with them. The cheaper the hood the better with these apparently...
I keep my 315s pretty high with good results, everyone tells me you really need to slam them to see growth but I feel like that might only be true for flower.
here's veg:

I can touch the tops of the reflectors and get within two inches of the bulb before I feel any sort of heat, I've burned myself on these a few times and it's definitely nowhere near what happens when you touch a 1ooo. Can't wait to see what happens in flower with these, if anyone has pics I'd love to see them!
Just thought I'd mention 1000bulbs.com has severely screwed up every order I've made with them (5-6x in the past year). They've shipped damaged bulbs, the wrong bulbs, kept me waiting months on the returns, and they're the worst company I've tried to communicate with in this business. Their published prices are low, but many other vendors will match if you just ask.
I got all mine at bulbs.com but they dont carry them any longer. Darno.....
Here are some pictures of flowers under the SS LEC. 5x5 tent, 6 plants.

Good advice ! I got my bulbs there , not the ballast.lol . Havnt had a ballast failier running 12 years constant with phillips 400 watt cmh bulbs..woot@diamond2.0
Be wary of the cheap ballasts and bulbs. They may fire the bulb, but they are not designed to run then. Put your money with Philips, they've been lighting specific areas for years.
I'm not a rep. Message me if your in Colorado for compassionate pricing and availability of the LEC.

As far as I can tell, it was from being too close to the light. My tent is not tall enough for that fixture when the plants get this big. The ones farther from the light didn't show this at all. Of course, they also weren't as thick and heavy since they were getting less light!Looks good. You got canoes too. Me too. Ideas?
Killin it man. On the height, I used to adjust, but don't bother anymore. My lights are a good 3-4' from the canopy at the start of flower and end up purty close at the end.... I've had a cola grow right up into the hood. I run Blumats and don't pay as close of attention as I should. It burnt a little, but not till it got within 3-4". Not suggesting setting lights like me, just sayin. But I was running (3) LEC 315s in a 4x4 tent, so intensity wasn't an issue:cool:Here are some pictures of flowers under the SS LEC. 5x5 tent, 6 plants
