Would 2 x 315w get a better light coverage than 1 630w
Double fixtures....




Wouldnt be to worried about coverage in each 4x4 area. I run a single 1000w hps in a 5x5 and its fine.

I like your three 315 idea because of the cross over effect. CMH work very well with crossover light. You had the right idea to begin with.

Im going to use 2 315's to flower an 11 square foot tent. 3 for a tent almost 3x as big seems very under powered to me.

That’s just under 30w sq ft. I would either run 4x 315w or 2x 630w.

2x 630w would have more even coverage in a 4x8 since 630w are meant to cover a 4x4, 315w are meant to cover a 3x3.

He asked if 3 would be enough. IMO......it is. Now if he wants more light yes I agree 1260 is the right amount for that size. But three 315's would be enough if he wanted that to work.

So he gets 1.8 pounds instead of 2.

I would actually do the two 630s and add at least two 150w HPS. Ideally 4.
