I'm still in the figuring it out stage of putting the grow rooms together. I keep reading and hearing so many different things on lights. My current thinking is 3 Gavita Pro 1000 DE on pulleys. I'd love to hear what others think is right. This will be for the flower room. The veg room is a whole different conversation. Due to restrictions I can't do SOG as plant count is a thing that matters.
I hear that the Gavita gets the best penetration and PAR. I read many growers experience 10 to 25% increase in yield when they switch to Gavita (of course I can't recall what a single one of them switch FROM) I look at some of the new LED lights and get swayed by their power consumption/total cost of ownership arguments. If I am understanding things correctly they are better in the blue spectrum which is more important in the veg grow room.
I've heard the the Gavita is a bit unreliable, turning themselves off in an hour due to over heating. Remember this is a closed CO2 room.
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts? I'm looking at abstract ideas as well. Say only 2 of the 1000 DE lights and maybe something smaller on the walls.
Any thoughts on this would be welcome, experience even more welcome.
