yeah i have the room for 3 forsure, my yield and quality should increase with the switch from 2 600w to three 315, correct? also what brand reflector/fixture would you recommend and do you think i should go with a vertical bulb fixture or a horizontal one? thank you!I run all Philips bulbs and prism ballasts.
For a 3x6, run 3x 315 if you have the room. Phantom had issues a bit back. I run 3x315 in a 5x10, and 4x315 in a 8x12
do you know why some companies use horizontal bulbs and some vertical or the benefits of using one or the other? also with the reflectors im just curious if theres any real difference in them as far as output/grow power or if its just a matter of how you like/need the reflection.I use all my old air cooled hoods. Hoods are a personal choice like underwear. What works for me, may not for you.
so you think the 942 bulbs are best for veg? i was told to go with either 3100k thru all of veg and flower or use 4200 in veg, 3100 in flower. luckily use separate rooms so i dont have to switch bulbs for that but it seems as if all fixtures comes with the same 930 phillips bulb with a 3100 or 4100k optionMy current dilemma is a very easy but don't really feel like doing the work. I'm planning on vegging for 2 weeks in my flower room with the 930 bulbs (3k spectrum). I did this last tine and did NOT! Notice the growth I normally get with the 942 bulb. Even though I add 1200ppm co2. Still not huge growth like I see in my veg room with 930 bulbs.
I can swap out my 4x930 bulbs for 4x 942 bulbs for 2-3 weeks......but honestly I'm lazy, still recovering from knee surgery, and it's a PITA to do a bulb swap when my plants get big in 2-3 weeks time.
Yeah I think your smart to make that move^^^
Winner winner chicken dinner
I'm gonna give a 4k veg bulb a chance all thru harvest and see what happens vs a 3k bulb this run.
Edit
After further talks with a few grower buddies, I'll swap out the 4k bulbs back to flower bulbs after 2.5 weeks from flipping. Word is the 3k will flower better.
