Thanks you. I was curious about the make and quality. I can’t seem to find any reviews on this brand.

Just did something very interesting with my old 250 watt 4000k Philips CMH. First I stuck a pair of Transition eyeglasses under a 3000k Quantum Board and the under 3500k Veros....... no change in lenses. Put them under the CMH and they were quite dark after about 7 seconds. UV is why I run it.

They can do some descent red to blend the range too. Using a led to assist bulb maintenance cycle and these babies become a beautiful solution. I’m going to rebuild my logic pucks to be the supplement as they are more red.
A side note, it seems like seeds develop faster with more blue as well!

That's funny, I just noticed my arms are getting tan for the first time during winter. I love working under it, serious mental health benefits.

I'm using a "red enhanced" cmh bulb right now to test it out, the spectrum looks great but I can't find any reports of people using it on any of the forums.

Would a 4K bulb be better suited for veg?

I think a lot of people are using the 4k phillips 315 bulb all the way through, but yeah, it's def good for veg.

Thank you. I have a Sunsystem 315 but am in the market for a new veg light. I have a redeemable coupon to BAS and it’s burning a hole in my pocket. They carry the Illuminar brand and I’m toying with picking that up or going with another Sunsystem out of pocket. Sorry for all the questions, but you know. Trying to do my homework.

I use the hortilux, it’s a 4K I believe.

Those hortilux bulbs are very nice too.

No worries, it's hard when there aren't many reviews on a brand. Iluminar is a premium brand like Sun System, I've only used mine for a single grow thus far, but the fit and finish seem high quality-I'm glad I went with it over a generic brand for sure.

I'm currently running a sun system CMH hood/ballast with the 3100k Phillips in there, and I am VERY impressed with using it to start seeds and veg, I will be around to chime in once I get into flower these lil ones. Nice change after a 4-5 year hiatus from gardening.
Never had near this fast growth with 4x8 T5 setups, plus much less fan/duct/AC than the old MH required I had before the t5s.
Just need to see final weight and of course resin and terpene production vs what I always have had quality-wise under HPS...
but they seem to be loving the spectrum and intensity and less heat too! this is my first run with CMH and I doubt I'll ever go back to HPS, but I may do a run in summer with LED/CMH together to see the results of the mixed spectrum, and then next run after that just LED on its own so that I can decide if I can do LED in summer and CMH in winter or if I can keep temps in range with either setup and/or can maybe use both in two separate flowering areas.
Can't thank you guys enough, if it wasn't for this thread I probably would have kept on blasting AC to cool HPS in a bit bigger setup right now instead of using the CMH and not needing any additional AC, just a couple circulation fans regular 4" size can fan to cool the 3x3. Much love club 315!

I have a 630 DE, so no separate bulbs, but I wanted to see how it did during veg so I used it for the last two weeks of veg in my current grow-the growth was excellent. So I'd turn both on either if you want faster growth in veg, once the plants get big enough to use the extra light, or at least I'd switch them both on like a week before flower so your plants can get used to the increased light.

Here's what's happening in my 4 x 4. Mimosa EVO
Wed. morning prior to light out and harvest.
Couple of bud pics
Drying racks.
Two plants on this rack.
Top rack of the drying screen.
Second rack of the drying screen.
Did not get a pic yet of the third screen, will tomorrow.
So wet weight @ 20% to day so far is about 26 zips with the heaviest plant to go. Expecting about 32 to 35 zips. This is just based on past grows and what my returns were.
I see a large batch of FECO in my future.
Will get up tomorrow and finish the one plant. Would have finished today but knew the stress I would be putting on my back so I took a big pat of cannabutter in my oatmeal this morning, so that slowed me down a bit.
Con't next post.
