Dstroy’s grow

[gwheels]

That is a cool CMH. A 500 watt bulb AND they have red spectrum 500 watt CMH bulbs. Bet that would flower nice.
Expensive but they last a long while

And enter the PotM ! Why not you can win ! That grape ape is superb. And I love grape. Grape everything. wonderful flavor.

Look at that far red boosted 3k bulb. And they come in 315 500 and 630 1000 double enders

I had to check that out. That is the first time i have seen that 500w cmh. That light is going to be killer. Hopefully you will not have a heat issue. As i have stated before you should get some of those photo's in the POTM several i see that could easily win. That light you built is like the big brother to the one i built the 515 sport.

I don’t think I’ll have a heat issue, the way I’m planning on using it is to just get a little bit more light but spread it out some more.

Yeah I’ve got two bulbs, flower and 10k finisher. Cool stuff. Going to control it with 0-12v. Excited for the cmh!

Got it finished

 

[dstroy]

Still got some cable routing to do, the fan fits! 16” hurricane... lol

10K wtf? Is that like super bright sky blue or something? And the 3100R
So looking forward to seeing your results ... Are their lamps compatible with any cmh ballast?

How did you mount your hurricane, is it stationary or can you adjust the height?

Nice and with the 10k, didn't know they had those. Don't guess you could turn the cmh around 90° bet you thought about it though.
I really like my 315s and also the old 330s for 400w mag ballast, 330s are all 4k but are great veg lights. It may just be me but I could swear those 330s outperform the 315 4200k bulb. I know there's 15w there but square wave should trump sine wave.

super bright sky blue or something?

I just zipped through the photo's, and I don't know if I saw it.
Northern sky is 6.5k
10k is nearly actinic; below 480
Good show , Dstroy.
I have a bulb like that. "Reefer bulbs"
Lit solitarily, it makes your skin palor two days dead.

It mounts on the 2x4 tee. I can move it up and down. Wall mount

I don't know, didn't ask. They've got different wattage bulbs, and were super helpful with all the other questions I had about powering it and whatnot. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

I could, but it doesn't fit the same way and blocks the fan oscillating by about 1/4"

I might get that 10k myself. You use it the last 1 or 2 weeks only. It causes heavy trich production because of the massive UV. I would say eye protection and long sleeves are required.

I'm probably not going to use it for a while. Gotta get used to the cmh by itself first. I'll just turn it off if I have to be in there.

Supposed to be awesome for trich production at the end. Last 2 weeks at most. Wanted to add this for a while. May be time while I'm upgrading things.
Very cool set up @dstroy.

Dont know much about the footprint you'll get but seeing how close the Cobs(?) are along the sides would it benefit you to add one in the middle at each end. The CMH will give you what 3 x 3 for flower. Or do the cobs spread enough to overlap from side to side?
Bad ass light either way I like it. Just got quantam boards, now have to figure out how to keep my 315 in the mix too.

Wouldn't work, wouldn't leave enough room for the fan, that's more like the way it was before I got the cmh and there was just leds in there.

It's a 500w cmh, should be plenty for a 4x4 on its own.

I have a quantum board that I use for my moms, love it.

After seeing the pic this way I totally retract my previous statement now to finish reading lol
All caught up lol, shit that thing is gonna crush it! The 10k finishers are a fantastic touch bro! Interested af about the results.

 

[spyralout]

I think there is more than meets the eye (in both visual and numbers) with the CMH. Even if not as a main source of light the results from various growers (think Capt's 515 sport, and me included to a much lesser extent) have been nothing but positive and intriguing. Definitely very interested on how and what dstroy's light will produce
I will say that all of my CMH exposed buds have been remarkably different than the others.
