True my buds are very potent. I have had the benefit of many growers smoking (and growing my strains) and posting smoke reports over the years. Which is hard to argue with and why I believe most have excepted what I have said.
Dude... your pinky is HUGE!! It's practically a thumb!!

Your buds look killer as always!
I think you could set up and run a decent grow with 315W CMH lamps in (preferably sealed and vented) hoods.
Really? I didn't know that about the smaller ones. I run the big ones and they're vertical operating position only.
Straight from the horses mouth as they say.
yep, they are all designed for vert position, some are universal but with minimal losses/shift/faster lumen depreciation
ha, I still think lec's are pretty damn good ..............2 yrs down the road?idk
That is floor to ceiling. The LED has a low profile so it worked plus I grew autos which were short. My grow bags are 8" tall.
COB LED is better TODAY, because it's as much as twice as efficient. The only fly in the ointment is cost, and that's rapidly changing. In two years anyone still growing under HID will be playing catch up.
Since it sounds like a consensus is building that you just don't have the necessary overhead for 315W lighting, your best lighting answer is going to be CXB3590 or similar chip, under driven to boost efficiency. The guys over in the LED section right here on RIU are widely acknowledged as being among the best in the world on the subject of DIY COB lighting for growing.
very true and spd's aside cobs are the efficiency champs................costs are coming down at a rapid pace, those philips T8 led bulbs we're talking about in the other thread were $22 six months ago and now are under $10 @ hd
