Thank you so much!!!! Now I can finally put pictures up lol. The pictures are about 4 to 5 days prior to flower. I was jut getting over my PH prolem so some of the plants look a little worse for wear. Ill take some more pictures tomorrow, they are now on day 3 of flower and look a lot better than the pictures now. Thanks to all of you for following along.

Happy Growing

Great start! Awesome wiring job. Room envy... What kind of height do you have in there?

Thank you for sharing your show, how did you settle on the 1000s instead of the 600s? I am setting up right now and debating going with one overdriven 1000 or two 600s per 4'x6' or 5'x5' footprint.

Good looking room man!

 

[Capulator]

tight set up.

I guess the gavitas don't put out as much heat since you can get away with 5 tons for 11 1ks.

The electrical work looks really good. Are you only going 4’ wide? Do you have any plans to see if you can stretch that out at all to 4.5’ or more?

I am along for the ride. Thanks for sharing.

hand watering?

 

[whazzup]

one suggestion though: the ballasts are a bit close together (keep 2 inched distance minimal!) and they seem to be catching the light too which could lead to overheating. A cool ballast is a happy ballast

Make sure you keep the lamp cords and power cords strictly separated as crossing or parallel wires can cause high frequency feedback into your ballasts.

nice clean setup

Hey guys sorry I have given any updates recently. I just got finished moving so im trying to get everything unpacked and organized and my internet set up. Im curious Whazzup, Could this cause the ballast to burn out??? one of my ballasts burnt out the other day. The ballasts are mounted about an inch apart but have the ac blowing on them. All the cords are bundled together though. Could this be my problem??? They are pretty cool to the touch.

I settled on the 1000s just because I have been growing with them for years and prefer them over 600s. Also laziness lol, I didnt want to hang 22 hoods

MY tables are all 5x5, I had a little problem with crowding so I had to thin some plats out. But i have found 9 plants on a 5x5 is perfect for my style of growing.

Yes sir!!! Im working on a metered water wand system to water them though.

Yep, that could be a cause. Be sure to keep mains cords and lamp cords separated as feedback will destroy your ballast, all machines are amplifiers

Keeping them out of the light is also a real good idea. They only dissipate about 60W per ballast, but also be sure to use 240V, not 203 (!!), this will cause failures and very hot ballasts. I've seen people try it and it is a guarantee for problems.

 

[Yesca73]

what is the heat like coming from these GAVITAS ? Is it summer time were u are ? I have 2 HPS 1000 that I have been thinking of replacing with these GAVITAS

 

[Yesca73]

These GAVITAS can be used in the USA right ?

 

[whazzup]

they give no more heat than any other 1000W HPS, probably a bit less as they output more light and you can only convert enefgy once. Do keep the appropriate distance to the light (70-90 cm on 1000-1150W).

yes they can, on a 240V system though.

 

[Twisted pleasur]

Subbed in. Very nice work/setup.

May I ask what is the size of your space?

Thanks
