Gonna see how cmh does finally. I know at this point the cmh train has been chugging along for a while and the results are in but I'm going to do it for myself.
I have always been happy enough with hps but I found myself having heat issues with summer coming. In one corner of my room I was running a 5x5 with a 1kw hps over it, close to 40 days from flip, flowers showed 13 days into that. Just exchanged the hps for a 315 cmh. I know that's way too little light for the area but the temps were in the high 90's the last few days before the change before that the temps were fine.
So basically what I'm doing is seeing how the 315 can do on a 5x5 IF the first half of flower was done with a 1kw hps.
