CMH runs as cool as an LED. I just ordered two 315w phantoms. I have a cheap 400w CMH with an air cooled hood that I don't even have to run.
Can only imagine 315.

Maybe it's because I've only used cheap led. It has been my experience. When trying to achieve the true wattage with 450x2LED it gets over 85 but i can run a 400w CMH and it will get to about 82 at most with no exhaust running.I'll argue that CMH is as cool as led. I had 6 of them before. 2 in a 4x4 space was waaayyyy hotter than my one Spydrx plus light in the same 4x4. It's still metal halide and burns super hot. I can touch my open diode on my led rails, try touching a buld that's been on for a min. If you run an air cooled hood that changes it but also weakens the light output a hair.
Using a mover for mothers will work just fine depending on how fast you need those to reproduce cuttings for you.Im interested in getting a cpl cmh for vegging moms....wanna do em on light movers so i can keep costs and heat down....anyone ever try it?
@hiboy thought i read something about u doin it....?

I would not suggest moving more than a 18" in either direction. I have found that shorter runs on the rail helps considerably.
I'm pretty safe with that list, can't say I use a single thing on it. Got worried for a sec, thought it said interstate batteries instead of bakeries (close one there). Also wouldn't be surprised if Heinz gets something through once in a blue moon (Burgerville tillamook cheeseburger, doh!)I was a used car manager for franchise dealerships for many years. The maintenance and usage is more important than anything to the life of a car. All of them use internationally made parts. It is a global market. Many families all over the world rely on production of these parts. And they are sold all over the world when built too.
I have a 215k mile dodge caravan that never had major work and runs great. And a 250k Ford Taurus. I would drive either car across country still.
And I hear your argument but it doesn't work. The corporations are huge. Consumers can only buy the local version of the product.
And since you hate Monsanto so much. You better stop buying anything from any company on this list.

2+ with 750s, 3+ for 1ks (Monsanto brand fixtures)Curious if anyone here running 1000w is pulling over 2 per light?
Now ur goin to hell!!! HahaI'm pretty safe with that list, can't say I use a single thing on it. Got worried for a sec, thought it said interstate batteries instead of bakeries (close one there).

Oh yes, they're saving a special place for me :jimlad:Now ur goin to hell!!! Haha
Good lookin out!!Oh yes, they're saving a special place for me :jimlad:
Btw the 4200K cmh work great for moms, good quality light at lower intensity, then just move closer to get them cranked up.

Homeopathic opthalmics? Wow there's a racket. Do they charge extra for removing the active ingredients?

Evidence for that?You know homeopathics work much like our canabanoid receptors in that they signal a healthy response from the body where it is needed.
Evidence for that?
Here's water in your eye :playful: hope it's sterile :shy:
You don't like the patron saint of all smart stoners? Mr X's baloney sandwiches are my favorite snack.
Comparison of ECS theory to homeopathy is pure confabulation (chemical process vs magical thinking). All the fallacious arguments in the world won't change that.
Thats a great pull from 600 watts of hps.Does 22 oz from a 600 count? That's my current record. 16-20 on average depending on strain and such.
It can be done but its not advisable. Everyone wants to jump on these DE lamps no matter the situation and ive seen many a cooked canopy because of it.Turning them down isnt the answer either. DE hps lamps are real powerhouse fixtures. Meant for high ceilings and multiples of them for light overlap. They are for big greenhouses and big commercial grows in a high bay setting. Think commercial warehouse grows. I know people try and make them work in a home or low ceiling basement but cmon. I even heard of people cramming them in tents. Good luck with that is all i can say. Stick to traditional mogul socket hps for home grows and low ceilings. If you want optimum spectrum...try throwing up the newish 315 and 630 watt cmh fixtures alongside 6 and 1000 watt hps single ended mogul sockets and call it a day. Now all that being said..I do use Gavita 6/750 watt de fixtures in a 7ft basement grow room. But I got them in between the floor joices. They fit perfectly..gaining me another foot or so. I use silver backed mylar foam board for my walls and ceilings in 4x8 sheets. I cut out for the Gavita lamp profile on the top. They arw more or less "recessed". Its a pretty cool looking setup...but iam always wishing I had higher clearance. I train my plants low and wide because the light is very intense and hot. An efficient high powerd air conditoner is mandatory for these lamps as well. Gavita tells us growers to mount these in high ceiling situations for a reason.Yup.
I run 1000w de in 7ft ceilings been doin it for about 3yrs now.
