Thank you for your advice and input i appreciate it. I usually do 7 gal pots and I ran 4 in my 4x4 might go 8 and see how i like it first run. I am just starting the scrog technique I did 2 runs in my 4x4 and liked the results

315w CMH supposed to be samey same as 600w HPS/MH..??? I dono but running 2, 315wCMH in 5'X5' replacing a 1K hps hs temps down 4*F, running them in an 'old' but brand new Growzilla hood, dbl bulb no glass no air-flow to bulbs.. theyre happy and so am I..
I did it this way, with adapters.. come winter (HA!) here in Florida, I will have to add heater.. but you'd still have to buy ballasts..
and the plants look normal color with lights on..

Why no glass or airflow with the hood? I’m liking the fact that it was a little cooler.

Because if I can’t get away with 2 630 in the raptor hoods I will run with that
FYI. I run two exhaust fans in flower. One to clean the room and vet outside. The other I run through a carbon filter outside the tent and run it through my cool tubes in the tent.
In the winter I vent it into the basement helping heat the area....in the summer I vent outside helping keep it cool down there.
If I didn't vent through the lights it would get mega hot in the summer.....Tents are hot. I try and keep the room temp as close to the mid 70's as possible all year around....humidity between 50 and 60%.

Yes in the 4x4 I was running just one exhaust fan. The filter was inside the tent I also vent exhaust into basement. I don’t know how Temps will be with two lights but I do have a ac I can run to help if temps get to high. Humidity hovers round 43% with out humidifier

I can’t evwn find se 630 bulbs lol so guess it will be 315s if they truly are compareable to 600s
I read that direct air on the 315s isnt a good thing to do... true?? I dono. I too run my fan/filter inside the tent but exhaust to the attic..
Make yourself crazy, read this thread... by rives

More comparable to 400s but with a better spectrum. Definately not a replacement for 600s.
