I got the 3100k bulb. This is my first run with 315 cmh. I ran the 330 allstarts before. My cobs are older cxa cobs. I am going to upgrade them eventually. If 6 cxb cobs are equal to the cmh. The cmh is a better deal. At least for the phantom. I paid $364.43 for it. The nanolux is $450 and the sun system is $480. Diy cxb cobs for 4 3590 or 6 3070 cobs costs about $450 - $500. Pre built cobs are around $200 more.

Excellent thread. I am looking for a new setup
Do you really think the 315 cmh is a better option than cobs ? it looks like a beautiful light
i really hope it is i would rather use less light sources than multiple cobs and also use something professionally made rather some something homemade

is it better for just initial setup costs, what about spectrum and electrical efficiency ?

I saw a complete 315w cmh system online for under $240 earlier today. Not the ATL kit. dchydro.com. The shop can't be any more than 2 hrs from me. I'm planning on checking it out sometime in the next few weeks. If it wasn't a week before finals I would of gone today.

Not a better option but a cheaper equivilant option. Multiple cobs in a panel will have more points of light which creates a more linear coverage almost. . So less shade points.

I needed more light I couldn't afford to spend $500 right now. Too many bills. I don't want to run hps.

Cobs are more efficient though

Nice to know. 18 mo makes so appealing. Do you feel it will cover a 3x3 in flower? Promise last question. Thanks hyroot.

It should. I'm trying a 4x4. Lol. Using the light bleeding over from other lights also though.

Right now they're covering a 45" x 42" but they're only a couple days into flower. So after all the stretch it should be more than 4x4. I will just be rotating the plants and using cages instead of a scrog on these. They're too big and woody to scrog at this point. If they get too big I may have to move a plant or 2 to another light.
