    LEC CMH leaf deficiencies

    The leaves are all droopy and yellowing followed by brown spots on the leaves. This happens when the introduction of the CMH happens. Switching fully to CMH but want to know how to remedy. This has happened on the last 3 runs. Even though the plants look like crap they still finish better than...

    Required CMH Wattage Per Square Foot?

    Hello everyone, I was just curious if anyone around RIU knew how many watts of CMH lighting per square foot is ideal? I am starting up a new, quite small vegging tent and am curious if a single 315w CMH fixture will be adequate. The tent size is 2ft x 4ft x 5 ft tall. Appreciate any and all...

    Lec 315 mixed with led grow

    Just setup a 32x32x63 flower tent and was wondering how good of a setup it would be to mix a mars hydro 300w with a 315w lec light with the phillips mastercolor 3100k bulb. Any suggests would be helpful mantaining a temp of around mid 80's.

    3 315 CMH or 3 630 CMH for a 4x8

    Is doubling up the wattage with the 630's worth it in a 4x8 or will the 315's get the job done? Does anyone have any recommendations on any of the brands offered on amazon?

    Howdy y’all, first time posting on here. I’d like to hear anyone and everyone’s thoughts on what i’ve got going on. So, basically i’ve got 6 x 315w LEC’s over roughly 140ft^2. I’d like thoughts on my crossover and spillage of light. Looking forward to seeing what y’all got to say. Thanks! CL_IV

    630w cmh bulb question

    Is it possible to use 3100k & 4100k bulb simultaneously in a 630w (315w x 2) unit? I understand 4100k is for veg and 3100k for flower. I figure broader spectrum with both bulbs in use. Anyone doing this or are most of you cmh users running 2 3100k in yours? Thank you for your inputs! Apologies...
