    New Ballast / SolisTek Ballasts

    dedicated circuit going to cool it more? please explain this to me. Ballast with cooling fans introduce dirt into the ballast, and if those fans fail the ballast will likely fail. Install your Solis tek on a wall in an upright position. The heat will dissipate better off of the cooling fins...

    Passive air intake question

    I should have said twice the area of your exhaust to be more accurate. So two 8inch holes, no. - Jiji

    Passive air intake question

    Hmm, I doubt that was the reason for your hermies. How much cooler is the outside air? I've had plants sit right in front of an AC not herm. Ofcourse there were some side effects though. A general rule of thumb is twice the diameter of your exhaust size for passive intake. In my experience...

    10 Gavita 1150W Stagger (5 on/5 off) vs 10 Gavita 600W setup

    8.5 ceilings will work with Gavitas. Not saying its ideal though. If you give me room dimensions, I can give you the recommended amount of lights (1000s or 600s), and recommended btus for cooling. 10 Gavita 1000 de's is no joke. Ive never seen any good data on spectrum shift on dimming bulbs...

    Autopilot greenhouse master controller. Any opinions?

    I like the idea of the master controllers, but I never got into them. For starters, they are limited on juice, yes you can setup separate contactor boxes but everything still has to be wired to it (has to be in general vicinity, or use extension cords) I just automate with individual controls...

    Need help with Lighting with raptor hoods dual

    Hydrofarm hoods use a 3 round prong plug, and their ballasts accept it. Some others do, but most don't. If you have another ballast you will need a baasp adapter - Jiji

    your welcome. I forgot to mention that was the flowering distance assuming 12-12 light schedule. Gavita shoots for 670 umol m-2 s-1 for veg because of more time under light

    I'm thinking you should be ok with that distance with a wider reflector.

    The minimal distance between the lamp and the crop. For 600W this is 60cm/2 ft, for 750W this is 70 cm / 2 ft 4 inch, for 1000W this is 90 cm / 3 ft. In larger rooms with many overlapping lights the optimal distance is often even a bit further away. When Gavita does lighting layout designs they...
