Which would you use for Veg?

I'm really interested in the 315w CMH, and want the most coverage. Area is 7x7.

I'm using 2 x 1000w Gavitas for Flowering. Ive used 1000w Hortilux HPS for veg, for years, but have ugraded space, and want more light.

youd prob get more good opinions on HID in the "Indoor Growing/Growing under HID lights section"

https://www.rollitup.org/f/indoor-growing.49/

most people in this section have moved onto LEDs are wouldnt recommend anything else

if youre married to HID, (4) 315s would rock that space perfectly

Under-driven LED makes so much sense for veg considering they're left on for 18 to 24 hours a day.

sorry i fail at reading comprehension. (4) of those would rock for flower but would prob be too much for veg in that space.

infinitely dimmable LED FTW once again

Ive found very few instances where "To Much Light" was a problem. Maybe in a small enclosed place, and/or if the lights are extremely close. Ive used 1000w for 40 years ( Since 1976 ) for veg in a 4 x 4.

Also while my space for veg may be 7 x 7. I have around 45 x 30 surrounding area, so heat wont be a problem either.
