I found a place that sells the dimmable 315w cmh which would suit my needs perfect i am sitting on it tho weather to buy or not, for half the price i could buy a Viparspectra 600w led or for nothing i can run my 4 cob's just really over the diy shit

Why would you want to dim the little fucker, grows quicker on full power

The cmh is a bit out of reach price wise i could borrow a few bux but I'm worried it won't be much difference to a 400w and heat output isa big factor i need to consider, i am maybe thinking a Mars 400 led because i need to lock the room sometimes and keep nosey people out i won't be able to deal with a hid in summer plus locking the door i don't think

I haven't decided on what size tent I'm using yet I'm limited on space so something around 70x70 would fit i can't see putting a 315w in that size tent in summer

i can get a 315w cmh delivered for $250 odd bucks and add $50-60 to that for a 630w cmh delivered to my front door.

 

affordable.

 

im gunna get one this year, im sure of it.

400hps, outside temp 10c 74hum

no ballast 27c 23%hum

ballast in 29c 20%hum

no fans

About the same as the 315, maybe a little bit hotter, you would need to do a side by side tent test to be sure, close enough not to care really

 

tent size 80x80x 1.6

 

Ran the 315 all night, no inlet fan one vent open at bottom, top zips open for air flow, it ran at 22c and 50%humidity all night

With 6 small plants in there
