Lighting question help!!

[BurningTeddy]

I'm looking at upgrading to a 4x8ft tent in the future and have everything selected but the lights.

I'm really liking Opticleds, either 2 optic6s or optic8s. Does anyone here have experience with them? Maybe even a few optic1s or optic1xls, like 1 per plant or so.

What would your recommendations be? I'd rreeaallyy like to stay away from "blurple" lighting. Dunno why, just personal preference I guess.

Currently running a 315cmh in a 3x3 tent but not getting the bud density that I'd like. Or as much bud as I'd like, even with a perpetual auto system going.

I have a room a little bigger than that I had a 1000hps for bloom and it worked great but was a little heavy for my light rail so I switched to a 630 cmh and waiting to see what i lose in yield , hopefully not much, I have never heard about those lights but I hear great things about cob lighting its a white led , when I first started growing inside I had a 5x8 tent and I split it into 2 halves with some flexible insulation from lowes ,that was working really well until the zipper broke on the door ( only took 4 years lol) good luck and have you read Nebulas tutorial on lighting

BurningTeddy I could be wrong, as I'm wrong alot of times,lol
But I wouldn't think that by switching to Optics, your gonna do very much better, than your 315cmh, but that's just me, I'm sure some folks will tell you differently.
The lamp you run in your 315, makes a huge difference, I found out.
Good Luck with whatever you go with, ole bud.
