Looking for info on 315w philips bulb

[Tim2392]

I was given a hood with two philips cmh bulbs and im not finding any info on this exact bulb and if its meant for flower, veg, or both? It says
philips greenpower cdm-tp 315w/930/u/o
C182/o
Thanks in advance. This is my first time on this site

Ok didnt know if i should flower with it or not. Ive been using a dual 315w hood with two of these bulbs for veg and it seems to be doing good. Guess ill go right into flower with them.

It is meant for full cycle. Veg and flower.

Those are what I use. Now into week 3 of flower they haven’t done me wrong yet.

I read somewhere that they’re good for both but if you have extra money you want to spend then use the 3100 for one and 4100 for the other (veg/flower). But the gain is small and I forget which was for which. You’ll also get longer use because you’ll switch bulbs.

One has slightly more red and less blue and one has slightly more blue and less red iirc but again the gain is small

942 is a 4200k veg bulb

930 is a 3000k flower bulb
