Yes, penetration is really important for your girls, especially the stretchier ones, haha.The idea is to have a second flower tent for my stretchier girls
So actually penetration would be big for this 3x3.
Please recommend a flowering light for my 3x3 tent

This was the game changing factor for me.
I'm in the UP of MI, (often mistaken for Canadian eh!)...the LED had it's limitations during the frigid winter months.... worked fine, buuuuutttt....when I started "mixing" the two techs, things started getting nutty.
The ladies started doing things I hadn't seen before. Hidden potential I didn't know existed. Eye popping frost.

If she'd finally fkn let me build a much ,much, much bigger room I could!!
I almost said the same thing; It's hard to remember a single negative comment about cmh, other than back when expectations weren't really known (overblown) and cost was higher (cost was the complaint).
My basement stays at about 50F all year round (I'm literally right on a lake, at the bottom of a mountain range), so I have a veg and flower tent down there, a couple of cabinets for male pollination and seed making, and a cloning/seedling tent in a spare bedroom on the main floor.
My basement is quite large with several open room areas, so I'm still contemplating putting in a 12 site RDWC system with a bunch of 1000W HID.
*sigh*. Why'd you have to go and say that?

315 CMH all the way for that 3x3( that’s what I’m rocking 
)... serious frost... if that basement is 50 degrees year round.. then you will love it...was a sure game changer for me..also from the wall my Vivosun unit pulls 355 watts...

Yeah, if you're wanting to stay under 400w from the wall, CMH is definitely the way to go.
If it wasn't for that, 600W HPS would destroy that tent.(in a good way)
But, I do personally tend to move more towards the 75w per sq. ft. as opposed to the normal 50w if ya can't tell

Ya the power would be nice and acceptable but I don’t want to run an exhaust 24/7 on it preferablyYeah, if you're wanting to stay under 400w from the wall, CMH is definitely the way to go.

My first lights were DIY Cobs and they turned out fine, but honestly I just want a clean, warranty backed system
I can wire, but she isn’t pretty haha!But damn if everyone I talk to doesn’t shut up about their 315 CMH LOL
I don’t have board experience, would you say the penetration is less than Cobs? And what kind of penetration am I looking at with a CMH?
I agree with @f series. But if you want/need warranty, or don't wanna diy for this one.. I'm not sure. DIY drops the led prices down (at least with HLG).My first lights were DIY Cobs and they turned out fine, but honestly I just want a clean, warranty backed system

I think the HLG 550 Eco is only in v2 version, right?
I'm still thinking of heat increasing methods, and considering cmh for that - because bonus spectrum, but duno if it'd provide enough. Also, they'd probably have to *remove* leds to run the cmh (due to electricity)...seems a little silly. Not as silly as running a space heater though, right? Lol.
