Veg is 4k dbm elite philips, flower is 3k agro philips bulb.

Yes, 1 each light is my goal. Not counting my side light pots. I just pulled 4.2 from 3x600s last run. Not quite sure how I did it, but I did it.
 
I like dimluxs their badass but like most of the 315 fixtures are WAY overpriced.You can buy 2 lights for the price of one if you go with the kits,after all it's the bulb that's important not the reflector so much.My only thought would be do I go with a vert or horizontal reflector?I've heard some say that 315 was originally designed to run vert,anyone else ever heard this?Other than reflectors I can't see alot of difference in expensive vs. 1/2 price units if they are running the same bulbs myself.
 
You are going to love it!! Made the switch about a year ago....will never go back!

Would love to discuss stuff with you man. I'm brand new to it but it seems like a total no brainer. Hit me in a DM ✌️
 
My buddy did a 6 light side by side nano with the horizontal bulbs and sunlight with the vertical bulbs and sunlights blew them away.

Hoping it was the orientation of the bulb! We shall see how these Nano's perform...
 
Drywall is up! Next comes the mud.

Topic for discussion: AC. Is 2 ton enough? Or should I go 3? My balls are on the line with the misses lol. Cost/benefit...

Second that on the 3 ton as a 3 ton can do everything a 2 ton can but not visa versa worst case scenario you are just more efficient. And what's the price difference? 4-500 bucks to me it's a no brainer as the misses doesn't want to hear you gripe about buying the wrong unit for the next year lol do it For her!
 
Always go big now, vs buying small.and having to upgrade bigger later on.

My biggest issue is not wanting something unnecessary. It stays real cool in my basement as it is, and I'm currently running 5 tons on 10k. At this numbers 2 tons should be able to handle 4K. I'm looking at about 2600w. Idk. Big decision.

Looking at $1k difference which is why it's a tough call. I could put $1k into other things (namely our wedding) and avoid a ball chopping.

Also, my buddy is swearing by the Ushio 4200k bulbs. I really want to go with the Phillips 3100k as has been discussed prior. Thoughts on this?

yeah ,they are designed to run vertical.
I just bought two of those maxibright kits,with bulb adapter, £400 for two of the 315s with Phillips agro bulbs...they have Phillip's spec ballasts too.wow...was my first impression after switching onefixture on.im using old shit euro reflectors,but I'm gonna get two round parabolic with the vertical bulb position..any of you ran the daylight 4200k bulb right through?I heard someone say they have done both,with hardly any difference...would love to hear off someone else to be certain.when you see the spectrum print out on both bulbs,the 4200k actually looks better.
