So I've been out of the loop for the last 6 years and these Gavita lights keep coming up in conversation between some experienced growers I know. Anyone care to shed some light on them? I am setting up a bare bulb vertical grow and I was considering 3 (600)'s or two (1000) HPS in my coliseum. I have also been seeing a lot of these dual filament bulbs with HPS and MH.
It's probably note worthy that I have quite a few 600 watt ballasts lying around some are purple digital (I think) and some are the old school big ass white ones (hydro farm.) I also have an old school (white finned hydro farm I think) 1000 lying around.
growing vertical obviously means I am trying to maximize yield and wattage so the best lighting is important to me. In the same token I would like to use what I already have and where I am growing it is very difficult and expensive to get equipment so longevity might need to be considered.
Also I'm not interested in running LED lights. It would not work for my style growing.
