I put two Hortilux 315 cmh in my tent on the right and middle lamp. Its been a week @ 12/12. These clones have all been run before and I mixed them up so some will be Hortilux and some will be the phillips 3K. Not very scientific but I wanted to try this bulb.

So I'm grabbed a 4x8 tent
And I have 3 cmh fixtures 2 philips@3100k and 1 ushio@4200k
1 vertical nanolux fixture
2 horizontal commercial fixtures
So what I'm thinking is
Horizontal- vertical- Horizontal
But my question is witch orientation for bulb color.
Should I go for uniformity from the beginning
3100k - 4200k - 3100k
Or should I be testing the over lap and go
3100k-3100k-4200k
If someone has experience running multiple bulb configurations and has an opinion on if the 4200k bulb is worth experimenting with or not..
Should I be ordering a third philips 3100k?

Have 15 315s various hoods
The vert mount destroys the horizontal. Further the wide spread horizontal are terrible for 315s.
Gonna b replacing my 1ks w 630lec. Anxious to see how they compare.
I'm sure it's covered n this thread but if anyone can chime in... Do 630's compete w 1k sehps??

In my mind,what I see in my grows with them...
They perform 15%-25% better than a 600 sehps, so I would think that helps when compared to a 1k sehps

You use the 1kw DE CMH? How does that compare?

I know Philip's designed the cmh to burn vertical.
My first fixture was the nanolux
?Then I was told in the hydro shop that the plants receive more light from a horizontal bulb?
Didn't make sense to me..

You got tall ceilings? IMO that's when it works best

Na,I can see that for sure,cause the 630lec has to be ran a tad higher than the normal ..

You ever run the gavita flex? I been lookin at them for a possible DE upgrade over my 600w hps, i hear they can be run in 7foot rooms is that right?
I want to go all CMH but it would be expensive.

I believe it's closer to the 4200 than the 3100 but is not in writing. At least that i can find. I've heard and read that on forums, but haven't seen any numbers from hortilux themselves. Also heard it's about in-between the two, so i really don't know. The Phillips definitely looks more orange.
I can't say I've looked to hard into that so take it with a grain of salt
