I had the freakiest dream last night. It started with a big weird looking snake....and then a small dinosaur like creature was chasing it...until it saw me, and then it started chasing me, just like in the video someone posted recently about the mountain cat stalking the guy...I was walking backwards saying no no no....I've had snakes on my mind for the past month, lol. :shock:

I need to upgrade...but only have 7' ceilings in my current grow room. I normally run Eye Hortilux 600 watt single ended bulbs, and 1000 watt when it's cool enough.

I tried the Solis Tek DE ballast and their 600 watt DE bulbs...Nothing to write home about and the ballasts were short lived and pricey trash...So I still do have 2 of their DE hoods though. Buy a couple of Agrosun 750 watt DE bulbs you say?? Can you or anyone recommend a good ballast to run them? I'd probably only run them in the winter time as heat will be an issue too. It would be great to find a ballast that could run SE 600's, SE 1000's, and 750 watt DE's....That's asking a lot.

How big of an area will each 750 watt bulb cover, about 5' x 5' ??

How big of an area do the Gavitas cover at 1150 watts?

Sweet looking flower room you have there too...love the tables!

@raratt this is plan B if my old cmh’s dont put out.

I fucked up and said hydrofarm hood, but this is what i recommend. Tried and true but i also got buddies who are rockin different ballasts now.

You can totally get that hood and ballast for cheaper. The 750w agrosun de bulb can be found online too.

i’ve always lit up a 4x4 tray area with a 1000w single ended. This de setup replaces the 1k single ended. Blows it away. 4x4 unless lighting up a larger area. We mount the hood to the ceiling. Totally depends on the/your style of growing to make it work with 7’ ceilings but totally doable.

With commercial DE fixtures like gavita, its best to try and light up the whole room on a grid style, not to mention you want tall ceilings. I have 12’ ceilings in this grow. 16 lights over 12-4x8 trays. Not quite lighting up the whole room but over the trays. I said in my previous post i get 3.5 per but would you believe I’ve been getting around 4+ per light with just one of my fav strains. It’s crazy. But growing other strains too i’m around 3.5 per. Which isn’t half bad?

My p-town grow I was finally able to set it up how i wanted. Sort of a dream grow.
Slam all the tables under the lights and roll them apart to garden. That was only with single trays i would roll apart. Made double tray rollers on this one. Love it.

really are able to maximize yield. No aisles. Waste of light imo.
