what light would you recommend for a 6x8 room Doc?

What are the dimensions of the canopy going to be? I'd say either one or two of these Gavita's is my first choice. I have two of them over a 4x8 tray.

 

[dickiezbuds]

The space is actually a 6x8 and is only 6ft tall. So I would say my footprint is close to 4x4 or maybe slightly bigger. I have a medium size A/C window unit cooling the room. So what size and type of light would you recommend? I really am new but have been reading these journal's for about a month now and really wanted some advice from this site. I also would love some HB, but I'm 45 post from being able to order..LOL.. Thanks for your help

Check my thread 'D'.

Yup. Duggan's got a similar situation. I'd say you definitely want LED in that type of space.

Yep!

I've got two of these covering a 4x8 tray. As of right now, I've only got six plants under the lights. I'm still testing the environment and tweaking controls but so far the lights seem to put out very little extra heat, when compared to vented HID's or even some LED's!

They cost about 450 to 500 bucks each, including the bulbs. Ballasts are already attached.

The lights can be linked together with a Gavita Master Controller, which will turn them on/off individually and auto-dim if temps get too high. This auto-dim feature is absolutely fantastic!

They put out so much light I actually believe I could get a sunburn under them!

As I get more plants ready to place under the lights, I'll update accordingly.

Folks, these lights are in another league....

I thought I'd take a second to say a few things about these lights AND a few things about the sponsor who provided the lights: Growitbest - Hydroponic Garden Supplies at Huge Discounts

Gavita Master Controller EL2 Use this to control several lights all at once, and use the auto-dim feature (included in every Pro de series) so that if your temps get high, the lights automatically dim (NOT SHUT DOWN) until temps are in range again.

There are other lights and controllers as well. I highly recommend perusing this fantastic sponsor's website and encourage everyone to check their prices and shipping policies BEFORE purchasing elsewhere. These guys know who we are and what we do!

Hey Doc.
I know this is an old thread but i just purchased one Gavita 1000w. Pick it up tomorrow, so stolked.
My grow room is 1.2m wide by 2m long. I will be using the back 1.5m to grow in and the other 0.5m is to stand and work in. My question is will the 1 light be enough?
Many thanks.

Damn man, I wish we got stuff like this here in SA. I would be all over it like a rash.

You do now mate Gavita is in SA!!

Well, larger pots would perhaps be a good idea. Someday I'll get off my lazy ass and buy some larger pots.

Feeding on the heavy side will also help a bit, although these landrace strains do better with less. Foliar feeding is also critical with these.

So far, so good!

How far into flower would you use a foliar spray?
I guess not to far in.

Hi GB! Thanks for reading this old journal!


The last time I spray is usually 3 days before harvest. Study up on budwashing.
