Gavita or nanolux DE

Hi Pat,

That is exactly where the remote is for, your can ruin your crops running to much heat in ur operation, the remote is ur failsafe for not generating to much heat, and if that does happen the remote will turn the output down, your ladies will not stress out as much from less light intensity as burning them with to much heat.
So beside ventilation/ airco this is ur backup..


Cheers

Lol mongo good times in those led threads. I'm not sure if smarter is the word that comes to mind haha.

i really believe that the raptor8s with no glass put off more heat than the gavitas and DE fixtures . If I do well with the two this round I will swap all my lamps for gavitas or nanolux' next round.

I am making it happen with 9 foot ceilings . If you get them all the way up there and stay 30 inches off you should be good . I don't run tables though so I got a little extra room.
It's funny you said that.. I normally won't switch anything ever once it's working properly . I am
Pissed that I removed the glass from
My raptors. Hot spots like a mofo . I been pissed at myself all day about making a change when everything has been so dialed

DE's and tables here. But with 10' high ceilings. I run my DE's at max(1150 watts).
I grow some pretty big plants. 10 plants per 4x8. The trays are about 17"' off the ground. No prob in my rooms.
I have this other room. It's my drying room, but it's setup so I can also flower in there. The plants in my main flower room actually start off flowering in that other room. Anyways, 8' high ceilings, and the trays are up just high enough to run tubing from the drains. About 8". I'm not sure how the gavitas work, but these phantom setups I use, you can detach the ballast, and voila: have remote ballast. Saves a lot of height. I can just "S" hook the hood directly to eye bolts in the ceiling.
Here's that small setup:

With these fixtures I'm running 1 light per 4'x6' area. I'm pulling 3 all day:hump:
These PARsource/phantom complete setups came with agrosun bulbs. I built some of these setups up from scratch and those ones are running Ushio Hilux gro bulbs. Absolutely zero difference.

Here's those two trays with the glue at 5.5 weeks now(shitty pic i know)

Thats dope. And it looks like you could even raise the lamps a bit more. Thanks for the data, very helpful.

New 600W DEs make lower ceilings ok. The 600 can mount 30-36" from the canopy, and with the flat mounted ballast it can be placed just as close to the ceiling as the remote Phantom DE.

The Nanolux features a horizontal ballast allowing you to mount higher on ceiling, has ceramic bulb holders instead of plastic (ie melting, fire hazard), can be driven at 1200w vs. 1150w, and costs $140 less than a Gavita. Why would the Gavita be a better choice? Am I missing something here?

Whats your final view Pat? Nano?
Click to expand...
Both are dope as fuck. I put the Philips green power bulb in my nano, I never ran the stock bulb. And from what I have heard they are including a different bulb now with that fixture.. So I can't say anything about the bulbs but the nano fixture is awesome. It gets a little higher to the ceiling than gavita and the price is a lot lower. Either one you pick you will be happy

Can anyone answer this? I plan on pulling the trigger for several gavita 1000de's but if there is something better and cost less then I'd like to know the dealio.
Everything I find online isn't factual, anybody have real life comparisons?

Besides the bulb locking mechanisms and the orientation of the ballasts....thier both nearly identical. Dont know about inside components. But my bet....same or very similar. Nano is less expensive.....and wireless if that matters. And the 600 watt nano de doesnt crank past 650 watts whereas the 6/750's go to 825. I dont turn mine past six very often. I get light burn in my 6.5 - 7 foot basement. And they sumbitches get HOT.

Any word? Par values or whatever compared to other de fixtures?

I'm running all nanolux de 1000w but my first real grow with them. Only had 1 test grow with them so far but the yield was good and buds were great. The fixtures seem to be well made and the lights are bright.

I just set up 6 gavita e series with the gavita master controller. And I have to say that I am very happy so far but only had them in for 6 days. Once I worked out the controller and a bit of fine tuning the room running great. There's no ac at all in this room its all cooled by fans. Here's is sum pictures of my big girls

Nice! The hoods look almost the same as the nanos. How is your footprint? How far away from the tops to the bulbs? I started mine at like 5.5' and after the stretch they are about 3. 5'. Everything seems to be going OK so far

I can lower the netting about a another feet just ran out of time to get it all done. They are 3 feet now from the top of the plant so I will get them just over 4 feet when I lower the netting next time.
