I'm think in about getting new lights. I'm set up in a 10x10 flower room. Right now I have 2 1000 watt hps and 1 1000 watt mh. I'm thinkn 2 315 chm and 2 double ended 1000 watt hos. Any thoughts?

I'm still a month from my next harvest so I got a little time. I don't have the biggest budget ever thats why I was going hps and cmh. Heat won't be an issue as nothin will be hotter then what I already have under control with the 3 1000 watt hids. Would like to properly light my 10x10 for under $1000. I don't really care about the electric bill either. I'd actually probably prefer to go with the lower equipment cost and higher bill (in the short term anyways)

Samsung LM301B - 2.7-3.0 umol/J efficacy (hps - < 2?) 3000K, 80 cri A few 660nm red diodes.. maybe some UV -- depends on the new research being done with non-field crops, which potentially develop more uv protection than an indoor plant would.... All you want. Amazing cost savings each month. if you are a DIY'er, check out the links i send you via DM. I'm not going to advertise for products here, if i can avoid it. No reply, neccessary.

Hey man, strongly advise changing to LED. Better spectrum and lower operating temperatures. Lots of setups out there but all depends on budget. The Lumatek Zeus Pro has one of the best efficiencies out there, however most are better than what you had. Costs more at the beginning but your Bill's will be lower so a great exchange. Maybe try adding UVA/B leds too. Can really increase the terpene production. Happy growing ✌️

Cant go wrong with CMH lamps. They run very cool compared to HPS. But with today's technology. You can buy excellent LEDs, T5, MH, HPS. It all boils down to your budget. Par needed, and is temp an issue for you?

The double ended would be awesome if you have the headroom. The best period.
