Keep us informed what you think about the plasma after harvest, if love to run one but I'm going to wait to hear results before I ever drop the coin

Hey guys going to be doing a new build in Nov. Was going to be using Gavita's which I have been using for the last six months but just talked with distributor for the E paps and I think we'll be going with these. Hey TK I thought the ballasts were supposed to run parallel with the tables? I could be wrong though. Each of our rooms are 24'x38' housing 12 4x8 tables with 18kw for each room. We did budget for 24kw but was told we could drop six lights from each room.
Not at all trying to argue here, to each his own. But i guess we have to take something else into consideration as well. When I'm running og's or taller strains I'm looking to get the max penetration in my canopy, down towards the stem. Ive found that with larger hoods they do a great job at light dispersmaent but don't penetrate very well, so sometimes the trade off is dependent on what one is looking for. example being next run i want to rock 2 gavita 1000 over a 4.5 x 9' area but what I'm really looking for is the lights to get way down to the bottom or further down the plant with significant strength so i can get the most off of each stem all the way down the plant, if i was scrog n then i would look for bigger hoods. That one of the reason i thing grow master still rocks the old school pl hoods, not speaking for him at all, just remember him saying that a while back.Just a little food for thought.I tried the gavita and the adjusta wings, For a 4x4 (or 4.5x4.5 I run) They both suck, They don't give a very even coverage.But the gavita is noticeably brighter just wont cover a 4.5x4.5 very good in there little hoods. I ended up running all agrotech magnums, There just like the xxxls just not air cooled. They cover very nice. I just got ahold of the agrotech DE hood and plan on putting it up soon. My plan was to do a room half regular bulbs and half gavita all with the same agrtech hoods but sunlight took to long to make the DE hoods. I have a feeling this will be the ultimate open bulb hood, and in the future Im going to get a few more and do a side by side. Hard to get good number with just one hood.

Have you used the bio wave before in other grows?View attachment 374374 Funny how this thread is titled Gavita DE but the convo is about the E Pap. I just upgraded half of my room with the paps and I can't wait to gather info from a run with them. Here is what they look like hung up today- I could not turn them on because I need to make my own power extension cords. The 10ft ones they came with are not going to cut it.
Is the sound annoying. seemed like an interesting product, I like how they have used it in outdoor fields. I wonder if it will increase yield and or overall well being of plants.This will be my second run with a biowave
Wondering what the weight of those lights are?View attachment 374374 Funny how this thread is titled Gavita DE but the convo is about the E Pap.

Really cool thing about the Epap- the are very light weight. The ballast is about the same weight as a lumatek digital.Wondering what the weight of those lights are?
The sound can be irritating if I'm in the room working for a while. Its the same effect if you were in a room with a table saw constantly running- I might be exaggerating. But for the most part it doesn't bother. As for the weight I'm not sure yet as this will only be my second run with it- and my last run I had root aphids :sour: That being said- I still pulled 1.5 a light. We'll see what I pull without root aphids this time. I'm changing so much in my room as of late it's going to be difficult for me to point at the Bio wave in the room and say that it made the difference. Here's one thing in favor of it- my last CinX plants that were directly around the Bio wave had the most impressive growth.

I took home 11 of these in my Honda civic and they were a breeze to carry around.
