i would get the 6/750 in your spot.i run 3 of them now,had 5 going but im using mostly led now. i keep mine at 7 feet and 750w no problem.Does anyone have experience with double ended fixtures, specifically the Gavita 1000 or better yet their 600/750 watt version, I have 7ft cellings. Is my 7' limitation enough to allow me to use the 1000 watt double ended?

With that low head space, I'd rock air cooled hoods and bring the lights right down on my canopy. I don't run 1000w Gavitas in anything under 9 ft. Happy Growing Oh Gavita makes a 750w because turning your 1000w down to 750 doesn't run nearly as efficient.
Hey brother what are you running them 3 in? room or tent? How big of canopy you covering?i would get the 6/750 in your spot.i run 3 of them now,had 5 going but im using mostly led now. i keep mine at 7 feet and 750w no problem.
are you saying you would rock 750 de gavitas in air cooled hoods?With that low head space, I'd rock air cooled hoods and bring the lights right down on my canopy.

ok i understand what you mean..Heat doesn't matter if you can cool the space. Gavitas were made originally for greenhouse application's, so the higher you can put them the better. @EventHorizan it depends I run my Gavitas at 1150w, they really aren't meant to be turned down IMO. So yes I'd run 1000w air cooled instead of 750w Gavitas in 7ft ceiling all day.
and Gavitas was bought by Scotts so I will never use them. There are a ton of other lights out there, dont put money in Scotts/ Monsanto's pockets.
You need the light up at height to ensure the focus of light is at the canopy of the plants growing below. Too close and the light can be too intense (think magifying glass burning ants) plus heat from the open bulb is a problem too. I'm looking at buying 2 DE lights and fixtures with the AC/DE hoods and runnign them at 750. i have low ceilings too
Just ordered myself two 315w phantoms. The light penetration of cmh is unrivaled. Frosty. I run a cheap 400w retro and she still kicks assA little tight for so much light. I use the 6/750s at 9ft and 1ks at 10ft+. If I had a 7ft room I'd do all 3100K CMH (pricier setup but you get it back on the electric bill), also easier to manage heat due to much lower IR intensity vs HPS.
in my main room,12 x 20 . these are just supplimental lighting to my cobs and quantums,for added spectrum and a lil heat lol.but before i went to cob led i was covering about 5 x 5 with themHey brother what are you running them 3 in? room or tent? How big of canopy you covering?
I say this often anymore with everyone thinking if they don't buy grow stuff from a company because of other stuff that the. Operation my have done.
What about the families that rely on their jobs as gavita to eat and pay the bills?
I still use Botanicare. There are Americans working there right in Arizona.
Careful who you hurt with bad information is my caution. Those people don't produce gmo seeds or force farmers to do anything. They just go to their job and produce fertilizer and products.
same as why you won';t buy one brand of car or another. Americans are building them. is that why you should buy a Chrysler product, even though quality is so low that it will suck every dime from you in the time you own it? But Americans build them so I have to buy it? Americans build Hondas and Toyotas too right here on American soil.
Companies will not stop their less than desirable practices of poisoning the ground and aquifers unless we stop buying their products, period.
