Hello Roll It Up ! I have some Newbie questions and I need serious help from senior members ! Please any advise would be extremely helpful and appreciated! Due to some space restrictions i am using a 4x8 Gorilla Grow tent with 1foot extentions so total height will be 7'11. I am stuck, if i should buy 2 Gavita Pro 1000e DE or 2 Gavita Pro 600/750e Flex DE. Which one would be more ideal with the space provided factoring in heat, height, and over all yeild? I do plan on using A/C to cool the tent. Thank you all for your time in reading this!

The height is going to be pretty low for the 1000s. If you can go up to 9 ft the 1000s are great. If you're stuck at 8ft you'll want the 750s.

I have a Gorilla grow tent 4x4 with a gavita 6/750 in one of my grows.

I'm currently bringing in cool air with inline fan and extracting the hot air. I have the tent to it's extended full height.

Plants are five feet in height from the ground. The light needs about 1 foot of clearance from the top of the tent.

So you're going to need about 2 feet from the tops of your plant to light. Any closer any heat stress starts to come into play.

6/750 would be the best bet!

You guys are awesome thank you so much for all the help so far, what i failed to mention is which ac ill be using, i will have a 2 ton ductless in the room so heat should absolutely be no problem, but worst case scenario ill have a backup inline fan to pull warm air from above the lights, if that becomes a problem! What I was planning on doing with the (2)1000e or (2)6/750e is having shorty tables in the tent, and having a shorter veg time, with a higher plant count and training them under 2 different set heights of trellis. Thoughts??? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated

Overall i would like to have (2) 4x8x8 Gorilla grow tents(thats with the 12" extension kit) each tent have (2) 1000e Gavitas, 1 above each 4x4 tray/table and have the tents on a flip flop cycle from eachother so only 2 lights would be running at a time(not all 4 at one time) **Edit**- This is what i have envisioned, any help or input would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
