18 Gavita 6/750 Placement - Help Needed

[georgebush]

Hey all,

Looking to run 18 6/750 Gavita's in a 28 x 9 with an 8FT ceiling. Was thinking two rows of 9. What would be the ideal placement between the fixtures. I can't run 1000's do to electricity limit. I will also have another flower room which is slightly wider at 28x12 with an 8FT ceiling as well.

Can the gavita ballast be ran horizontal like the Nanolux?

Thanks in advanced.

They cover a 4 x 4 really well.2 feet off the walls no problem.you will be fine with 2 rows of 8 lamps.unless you get remote ballasts they will be vertical mount and you lose a foot right away.

I will be running 18 plants per flower room in 15 gallon pots, would I not benefit from the addition couple of lights?

Does anyone else make a 6/750 style DE similar to the Gavita, i would love to be able to retain that height if possible.

nanolux makes a nice looking 600w de fixture that will hug the ceiling much closer.nver used one but i have many nano 600 digital ballast and i love them. http://growershouse.com/nanolux-600w-de-complete-grow-fixture-208-240v-grow-lamp

Go 1000w all day, I've got mine cranked to 1150w at 9ft. On the floor on saucers. As long as you got the AC covered gavita is the way to go. IMO

Hey Cali wondering how long you Veg for?

What do you guys think about doing 1:1 with DimLux CMH 630 and either a Gavita 6/750 or DimLux 600SE (will mount flush to ceiling) and be turned up to 660W, and only need to manage 1 controller. Really like the DimLux 1000w DE fixture but I don't want to run it turned down to either 800W or 700W 24/7 due to spectrum shift.

How did you end up spacing? I am building with a 28X8 foot room, 9 foot ceilings. Trying to figure out what I can fit in there, and will need ac wise.
