You sound like you're the rep.. Why do you want to sell the best lights you have ever used?I happen to be buddies with a solistek rep and they've just come out with a thousand watt splitter so now you can run one 1000w ballast but run to air-cooled hoods and put it on like super lumens and you can run to 600w double Enders this is new technology just now coming out on the market he was telling me about show me a couple pictures this is going to blow shit out of the water guys watch out for solistek man they're coming for them whole freaking Market
So what is a 315 cmh in comparison to say a 1000w hps yield wise? How many average grams do you get per watt?
I ran a Phillips 3100k next to a Hortilux 600 Super HPS all last year and my opinion is that the 315 cmh compares to about 450 watts of HPS flowering light.
My best yield in a 4'x4' area with the 600 HPS was 22 oz. dense dry nugs.
My best yield in a 3'x3' area with the 315 CMH was 15 oz.
Denser larger buds with low leaf/bud ratio with HPS.
More colorful and somewhat frostier looking buds but less dense and more lower larf with CMH.
Both lamps are capable of excellent smell and flavor. I think the added blue in the Hortilux spectrum helps the hps here.
Both lamps grow very potent flowers with full complexity of canabanoids as genetics allow.
I thought the flowers that stretched in between the 2 lamps were consistently the best looking.
I think 2 315's might solve the density problem over the 600 and beat the yield by a good margin in the same area.
I plan to run a cycle from start to finish in a 3'x3' tent and the 315 next.
Please keep us updated.ive only just got round to setting up a room with all maxibright 315w ballasts and x4 Phillips 930 x3 942 lamps 3 lights on while i veg 6 lights in total i replaced the x2 gavita 1000de with this setup so hoping to see good results
This is basically what I've heard too. Healthier looking plants, more colorful buds but slightly smaller, less dense and leafier. And it makes sense if you've ever flowered under reg MH the results are very similar because it's not that drastically different in terms of spectrum . . . Just a little more efficient at producing usable light per watt and the bulbs last just over twice as long in terms of bulb output depreciation.I ran a Phillips 3100k next to a Hortilux 600 Super HPS all last year and my opinion is that the 315 cmh compares to about 450 watts of HPS flowering light.

If you look at what jungle boys did with cmh, they replaced 20k de HPS with 18K in cmh and the buds do look a little smaller, not sure on numbers cuz they haven't put those out that I know of( probably cuz they don't wanna do the research for everyone else). And that's only a 2000watt down grade....
I think the guys seeing the biggest gains in terms of gpw were likely running their original HPS lights too close to the canopy in the first place due to things like limited ceiling height etc or maybe their cooling was less than adequate and switching to lower wattage less infrared spectrum helped them get a better handle on temp control (which is massive in terms of yield).
All that said I haven't pulled a cmh crop yet but I'm heavily committed to these things and hope I'm wrong lol. I do have a strong suspicion I'll be throwing a few HPS in there to supplement the cmh
It's like the difference between being on earth or mars lol. Which bulb/bulbs were you running 3k or 4K? Thanks for the info man ,appreciate the real world input @MIMedGrower
