Phillips 315 Cmh Bulbs (elite, Base, Or Agro)

[DemonTrich]

which bulb out performs the others? theres 3 options for the Phillips bulbs. either agro, cmd elite, or the regular model? cheaper bulb is about 72.00, elite cmd is 115-120, agro is about 120-125. I tried to do a side by side comparison of the 3, but cant really do that on my cell phone. all bulbs will be t9 style bulbs, single jacket used for enclosed enclosures, not a double jacket.

ill be using 3x315 42oo in veg and 4x315 3100 in flower.

Hope I am understanding you correctly and that you're still around on here! In my opinion and experience, growing under the Philips Elite is both the best compared to other CMH bulb manufacturers, and the best that you can get from Philips from a cost to value perspective.

Jealous of your 7 x 315w setup though...I am a bit smaller scale with my ceramic metal halide setup!

I'm running 4x315 in flower, and 3x315 in veg.

I ended up with the philips agro 930 bulbs for flower, and the philips cdm elite 942 for veg.

Should be pretty solid with that setup. 942 great for veg, 930 great for flower. Interested to see results :)
