My cat after a little blueberry muffin :D
I'm intrigued by the cmh, I'm thinking of mixing them in with my 2 1000w hps. Right now in thinking 2 630 cmh and my 2 1000w hps. I'm planning on being in this space for awhile though. Gotta recover some cost first and then I can move forward.
Ah I see, the horti blues are more then twice the cost of the eye but have a better spectrum if your trying to maximize thc levels. And the ladies look better in pics lol
I'll look into them for a few runs from now. The biggest thing I learned is that its not my equipment limiting how good things turn out yet, it's me lol. Once I get things dialed in better I'll start getting better gear. I still have a pile of shit to buy as I'm sure you know how it goes. Always needing something. Might be worth it to make them look better in pics though! Hahaha
Good point I've only ran it one harvest and noticed the kiefier bdsbud didn't take the time to figure the yield. To many different strains per tray.The Hortilux Blue is a very close to sunlight spectrum veg bulb primarily. The 400 watt mh is the best spectrum. But the 600 is really a conversion hps spec bulb that is still very good.
But I have gone back to the Super hps for flowering. Changing out with the blue coat me 20% yield and have fluffier leafier buds.
The cmh does not do this so much. The 3100k bulb I have flowers great. Just not a big area.
Note. I would choose more spaced out at 3' 315's for coverage and overlap before I would use a 630.
More points of light is better and cooler.

I'm taking it all in guys, thanks for sharing the knowledge. Always nice to hear from growers you respect and see their results. Just realized its after 12 which means I'm now 39....gonna smoke myself stoopid when I get home. I have some hair straightener rosin :p and some R.K.S ready to go when I get home from work.
Haha, it would be nice to be running mixed spectrum de's but I don't have the head space for that. Next time I move that rill be on top of the list.:DIt sure seems to add frost. But the cmh seems better at finishing too. It's close. The 600 watt blue covers a bigger footprint. So many pros and cons to consider.
Good thing we have many strains to ease our 1st world problems eh?
Happy birthday man enjoy! I will burn one down for ya!I'm taking it all in guys, thanks for sharing the knowledge. Always nice to hear from growers you respect and see their results.

Yea, the day before 420 lol. Thanks! I was really hoping to have harvested already so I had some if that starfighter x longbottom leaf to blaze for my b day and 420 but eh what cha gon do? HahaHappy Birthday buddy! Didn't know.
My man! Smoke some good for me!Happy birthday man enjoy! I will burn one down for ya!
I won't really have the space to run de either. That's what got me leaning toward mixed spectrum of cmh and hpsHaha, it would be nice to be running mixed spectrum de's but I don't have the head space for that. Next time I move that rill be on top of the list.:D
Haha would be nice but I can barely keep them short enough with regular bulbs:DMy man! Smoke some good for me!

not all brother.im just 1 state below u so i def understand bout our old ass basements.ha.good luck n yur plan sounds solidMaybe too much information for your simple question. Lol.
Very interesting! I need to do some more research on these. From your pics they do look very short squat yet beefy.Here's something interesting for ya GrowGod.
I posted my light upgrades in a different forum. But one of the things the cmh does for my plants is keep them more compact.
The Blue Lemon Thai pheno below is a tall stretchy pain in the ass that keeps growing all over the place while making huge long lemony buds. I usually have 6 stakes and a roll of soft tie everywhere plus continued supercropping to get her to stay in the space and height of pretty much 2 normal hybrids by ripening.
But that was with 2 Hortilux Super Hps 600w bulbs.
Now I have added a 315 LEC and let her grow through transition under the new 3100k Phillips bulb.
She stopped stretching after 1 supercrop of only a few branches and a little training and started stacking buds during week 3 instead of week 4 like before.
They are finishing an average of a week to 10 days early if I use it for finishing. And they show more color.
But here is a few views of a pheno I know very well growing much more controlled and shorter under cmh.
I put her under the 600's to bud up as I always have more plants in rotation.

Do you use these in veg instead of a t5?
The brief info I read claims to be healthier stronger veg growth compared to the t5 and uses less electricity which makes me happy! It about time I do some upgrading in the veg room so I might try one out. I need to check what sizes they come in.So far I am still using tents and t-5's. But I plant to use the 4200k LEC in a 4x4 area for veg in my next upgrade.
I used to use a 400blue mh when I grew the whole cycle in a tent. I think the cmh will give similar results. Faster. Bigger and thicker and likely bushier with more tops than just t-5
I actually use the flourescents to slow things down a bit in my system.
