please help! (2)1000e or (2)600/750e Gavita when using a 4x8x7'11 tent

[Homegrownx]

Hello Roll It Up ! I have some Newbie questions and I need serious help from senior members ! Please any advise would be extremely helpful and appreciated! Due to some space restrictions i am using a 4x8 Gorilla Grow tent with 1foot extentions so total height will be 7'11. I am stuck, if i should buy 2 Gavita Pro 1000e DE or 2 Gavita Pro 600/750e Flex DE. Which one would be more ideal with the space provided factoring in heat, height, and over all yeild? I do plan on using A/C to cool the tent. Thank you all for your time in reading this!

The height is going to be pretty low for the 1000s. If you can go up to 9 ft the 1000s are great. If you're stuck at 8ft you'll want the 750s.

nanolux will be cheaper buy you 6 to 8 more inches in height.

I have a Gorilla grow tent 4x4 with a gavita 6/750 in one of my grows.

I'm currently bringing in cool air with inline fan and extracting the hot air. I have the tent to it's extended full height.

Plants are five feet in height from the ground. The light needs about 1 foot of clearance from the top of the tent.

So you're going to need about 2 feet from the tops of your plant to light. Any closer any heat stress starts to come into play.

6/750 would be the best bet!

You guys are awesome thank you so much for all the help so far, what i failed to mention is which ac ill be using, i will have a 2 ton ductless in the room so heat should absolutely be no problem, but worst case scenario ill have a backup inline fan to pull warm air from above the lights, if that becomes a problem! What I was planning on doing with the (2)1000e or (2)6/750e is having shorty tables in the tent, and having a shorter veg time, with a higher plant count and training them under 2 different set heights of trellis. Thoughts??? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated

Real quick, you've grown before, or is this your first take at it. Seems not

Yes sir, i got a few cycles done myself with 4x4 gorilla grow tents and 600's, Trying to just scale everything up a bit.

Overall i would like to have (2) 4x8x8 Gorilla grow tents(thats with the 12" extension kit) each tent have (2) 1000e Gavitas, 1 above each 4x4 tray/table and have the tents on a flip flop cycle from eachother so only 2 lights would be running at a time(not all 4 at one time) **Edit**- This is what i have envisioned, any help or input would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
