Does anyone have any gavita rooms set up that you don’t mind sharing some pics of? I’m upgrading my 22x22x10 room right now to gavitas but only half at a time. Just looking for some ideas and pointers as far as spacing and table size. Thanks.

Yea. Thanks. I’ve read that multiple times and still can’t make sense of it in my own scenario. I really was just hoping for some empty room pics and real life experiences as far as the setup goes. I was hoping to eliminate my own trial and error shit by learning from others. I appreciate the response though.

Instagram. And i would be a bit weary of the gavitas these days, my local hydro shop has seen a ton come back lately.

TBH if I was in the market for some more DE HPS I would go with Sun System or Phantom ballasts. I have had great luck with them both. Avoid nanolux. Get the reflector of your choice, then grab some Philips lamps for them.

I personally don't like my ballast up by the reflector as that is hard to change out mid run, much harder than replacing a lamp alone.

If you have cable you do want your ballast by the reflector as that eliminates the cable "antenna".

Damnit. Halfway done now. I like the ballast up there for my set up. I’m tired of all the cords I was dealing with before and it’ll look much more organized like this.
