The ‘e’ in ‘e-series’ stands for external control. These fixtures can be controlled centrally by a Gavita Master controller. This replaces the often cumbersome installation with contactors and clocks, and adds safety features such as automatic dimming of your lights at high temperatures and even a safety shutdown. We improved the electronics and changed the way the ballast is built, by mounting the PCB and warm components directly on the heat sinks instead of in a ballast bracket. The much cooler electronics result in a greater reliability and a longer life. The new design of the housing even increases that effect.

Will actually go to 1150w

Is that sq. ft. and is it a square or oblong area?

500 sqft. About the size of a 2 stall garage imo. Roughly.

Either way the light itself isn’t going to give weight. First A good reliable strain that you know how to grow or have experience with. Light is just one part of it. Training. Carbs.

I love grow rooms. Here’s one I built a couple years back. Unfortunately I had to retire her because my brother is a idiot!!

I'd run a mix of the Gavita's and CMH. A thousand is good for a 6x6 area, a little more with overlapping lights.

I'd throw gavitas and led in combo. get a constant heat range by running 600s and supplement with led. save on AC.

The only thing I'd say to that is that your limiting yourself to cob lighting running beside the gavita's

Quantum strips?

Quantum strips?

Sure, what's the umol/j output at 30" ? If money was no object I'd light the whole area with Samsung strips considering I'm getting a unit for every 270 watts of f-series strips per 3x4 area, so 40 of those would fit in his 500 sq.ft. area and should produce him around 40 lbs. may not scale up that good but it's possible.

i think combining led with other types of light works good. Where my t5 and purple leds overlap growth is best. I found that with purple and 4000k qbs too. Where the 2 overlap growth is best.
