thats the thing its not for sale yet thats why i was wondering if its worth spending on. i was talking to one shop owner and then he sent me to sunlight supply and i explained how i was looking at CMH and was looking for a system to try out and see how it works, then he put me in contact with the another branch of the company and gave me a huge discount, im basically just paying for the ballast and 3 day shipping. the hood remote hangers and extra bulbs are all free i was going to order this from but then now i dont know. i know its going to be for sunlight supply when released but thats about all the info i have on it other than the some specs

Maybe just hookup an old 400 hps ballast and screw in a 315cmh with adapter to try for now .

HPS only. It’s all just hype.

If anyone is noticing a big quality difference between cmh and hps I suggest learning how to either keep the room cooler or work the light distance better. And backing the lamp away some during ripening helps.

And no one wants to hear this. But I am believing growing well with the higher wattage helps potency. Everyone noticed the hps buds were more potent when I removed the cmh from my flower room.

I told no one what I did. They just mentioned it as a compliment.

Pics? Of the 315 setup(all 4 runs) please
I only see you post the mixed grows.

I have said before that the rest of the pics were lost when I transferred phone service.

But I have posted cmh only and 2 weeks finishing and hps only and mixed. At least a few examples.

And I have blind tested the buds with patients the whole time.

A quality grow light can give the same results as another if used properly. The limiting factor is wattage not spectrum. Although the spectrums have different pros and cons. And the pros and cons may be better or worse depending on method, room and grower.

Why are you in the CMH area if you are pushing HPS , you might want to go to the forum for HPS , this is the forum for CMH growers.

Good luck on your SOG.
I might suggest you add another 315 as your outer plants will not receive the same amount of light as the inside plants.
I am running 2 - 315's in my 4 x 4 and loving it. 18 to 21 inches above the canopy.
From experience, if you try filling the 4 x 4 footprint with one light, the height you would have to raise the light will not give you the desired product you are looking for.

This pic taken 4/4 is a single 315 that I raised to get the plant to stretch so I could attach it to the begin filling the screen. The height is about 26 inches plus, don't remember exactly, and yes I got good stretch but it caused the node spacing to be to long between the nodes. Since I do heavy defo that does not effect this grow.

This pic was taken 9 days later when I added the second 315. The height of the lamps are 18 inches.

Now, that being said, I still don't get true coverage of the 4 x 4. With the lights side by side at 18" the actual coverage is approx. 5' x 3.25', due to the overlap for the 5 feet and the side by side alignment for the 3.25 feet. Now the higher you raise the lamps the larger the foot print but the less intensity of the light. I would not go above 21" for normal growing and prefer 18".
To get around the coverage problem and also my back problems, I built a lazy susan to hold the 10 gallon smart pot. It has rollers on the bottom that ride in the channels of the catch tray so I can move it in and out and also rotate it 180 degrees.
It sure makes it easier to work on this plant.

Taken yesterday 5/7 day 7 of flower, stretching has begun, the lamp is raised as needed to keep the height at 18".

I also wanted to say I think your choice for the number of plants is perfect for a 4 x 4, but if your going with just one light @ 3 x 3 coverage then you would want to lower that number.
Man, your going to kill this grow, years back I did a semi SOG with 12 plants in a 2.5 x 4 foot with a SS400 LED and did okay. With one you'll do okay, but with two 315's you'll rock it.

With your drip, you have those little bearings to turn off each individual line?

I have a 1/4" ball valve on each line for isolating or pressure reduction for each dripper. I use them with my 2 gallon smart pot so I can remove the plants from the tent to work on them. With this run I am have not been using them as I couldn't move that sucker if I wanted too. Going to take two of us to get it out of there at harvest, I will allow it to dry for a day plus prior to harvest so she may be lighter.
