Indoor Switching some lights... CMH - couple of questions?

[whatsgoodie]

Hey friends,

I'm doing away with my BlackStar LED's (going to sell them) and putting 1x 400W CMH in place of them.

Anyone here use a CMH or could answer a few of these questions.. it'd be much appreciated. ^^

What are your ambient temps?
Where did you get your bulb?
What kind of coverage can you expect? (I have a 4x2 tent I plan on sticking it in which is 50w/sqft.. I won't be using about a foot of it lengthwise, so 3x2 6sqft, = 66w/sqft).


Thanks!

I am thinking ultimate grow light combo personally

BlackStar CHM Blackstar

That would be pretty bad ass I bet it would blow your socks off with results. That setup would own that tent space. Since I have switched to a LED / HPS combo my yields have been much higher than one or the other. I know HTG supply has a good intro CHM setup and bulbs.
