I got the sun system, cmh was back up plan if my budget was denied
For those interested in learning more about LECs (short for Light Emitting Ceramic), I wrote a little bit about them here just explaining what they are.
Basically an LEC uses ceramic metal halide technology (they used to be called CMH or Ceramic Metal Halide, but these days they're more commonly called LECs).
CMH/LEC grow lights are more efficient than regular metal halide lights (they put out more light for the same amount of electricity) and have some other cool features, too. For example, the 315 LEC gives off UV rays (which may possibly increase THC) and the fixture is designed to keep cool without glass so the UV rays actually make it to your plant!
LuckyAcres I've never seen one so cheap! I probably would have picked one up myself at that price

Yeah it was interesting, walked in the shop this guy had four of them on his cart and there was still a huge pile of them left! This shop has insane prices,not sure how they do it and it's a 2 minute drive so no complaints here. Your tutorial and green's results are the reason why I'm poorer today... but now the shed is cooking! Yeah baby!

Electricity rates where I am are $0.11 per kWh. Which results in a $30-35 per month @ 24/0 using 600w mh/hps with the full compliment of fans and a dehumidifier. Rained like hell in NorCal this winter, so the dehumidifier was required. my bill is usually around $150 anyway, so 35 bucks extra ain't bad.

Yes I have....pulled an elbow out of a 3x3...big ole buds...
for now on I will start my vegging process under the 4200 then I will go to the 3100 then at the end I will switch to the finishing bulb I have not bought it yet but I put down a deposit on it..... but my first round of Autos that will be in my tent coming up soon they will totally be under the 4200 all the way to the end until I put the Finish bulb in the last week and a half.... I'm going to have to play around with my bulbs just to see what I like best.. the only reason why I am changing bulbs from the 3100 just because I'm curious I totally love the 3100 it did awesome I just want to see if I can do better especially with these autos... always looking for that secret recipe if you know what I mean
