315 cmh + 150 hps 3x3x6 First Grow Advice and Tips
Hello! I’m completely new to growing but decided I’d dive into it. I have read about many different lights and have decided to stay outside the realm of led completely. I was highly interested in cmh and have read that the 3,100k delivers a great blue spectrum. I also read of grows consisting of mh and hps lights to get a more full spectrum of light. So I was hoping I could use a 315w cmh from Sun System and a 150w hps also from sun system.
This is where I’m hoping for advice, how far would I leave the combo of lights from the canopy? Both cmh and hps are known for heat production, will my climate be too hot or dry? The cmh light comes with a control setting, would I have to lower the cmh to us the hps as well? I’d also like any advice that can be given. Here’s what I got;
