I'm using 1000 watt cmh bulbs dimmed down to 860 watts. I'm finding that even with a 3000k bulb the plants grow way more leafy and am having to defoliate way more often vs HPS and MH. I'm looking into switching over to LED I hope LEDs dont have this to much leaf growth problem.
That's why I'm afraid to switch to LEDs that plants will still be to leafy.
Wow my experience with 315’s are the complete opposite. I use both the 3100 & 4200Ki saw that with the 315 3100k too. And plants stay short. I think all full spectrum options will do that. I liked cmh combined with hps much better for flowering.

My plants haven’t been short in hydro or soil. I’ve had plants grow 78” my 1st run in hydro and was so concerned about the height the 2nd grow that I took the advice of a fellow grower and kept night temps closer to day temps & kept lights lower, all in an attempt to control height. Don’t know how much it actually helped because I ran into NP&K deficiencies during stretch and know that played a part in them not reaching their full potential, but even with that I still had a few that grew over 60” This pic is of my 1st grow in hydro. Being new I let them grow way too tall under 2 315’s. I got the 600 and flipped a few days later.opposite how?

What exactly do you guys mean when you say “leafy” plants ? View attachment 1096473
