Thanks again. I am going to keep doing some research. The quick search I did seemed to suggest that 315W CMH is good for 4x4 in veg, but only 3x3 in flower. But perhaps different bulb types and reflectors influence that. More of a concern for me is the clearance/heat question. Definitely not ruling out a CMH at this point - curious to read more about them. Thanks again for floating the idea!
Heat can still be an issue with cmh.
Im running a 630 watt sunsytem dual bulb open hood in my 4x4 x 6.5 tent. Will definatly have to change lights or invest in a smalll a/c unit if i want to continue to flower through the summer months as my 6" extraction fan is already running the whole 12 hour on cycle.
My advice if you wana go cmh.. get an air cooled hood..
I'd love to hear what some people might have to say about the heat output from a similar powered LED option.
Would probably want to go with at least 900 watt LED up to 1200 watt LED for flowering in a 4x4 based on what iv been reading
