I'm considering purchasing a Gavita Pro 600/750e and was wondering if it would be too much for a small closet grow of 2-3 plants based in soil ??

thank you for the input... I'm worried if the plants get too tall, the hps will burn them near the end... What do you think of using this light to veg/flower? Anyone had any experience with this??

I have read it does great in veg, full spectrum is full spectrum, meaning it works good for both

for the price of them why not spend that coin on a wicked hps setup and also get a better resault

gavitas are hot as fuck there awesome just not for a closet grow. it would be pretty hard to cool a hps in a closet as well unless you took the doors off

a quick google of gavita tent grow resulted in a couple youtube vids of burned looking plants :fire:

edit: they were the 1000w watt version

You can count on keeping a cup of coffee warm/hot if you put the cup on top of the attached ballast.

I run my 1000 @ 825 in a standard height bedroom. I had light bleaching of leaves @ 1000w At 825 still slightly outperforms a new 1000 watt horti. And I bet I could drop to 750 without noticing much difference

about 24 to 30 inches, when I first got it, I ran 1000 and plants were closer,maybe 20 inches from tops, Buds still came out huge. But I am seeing better results @ 825

My camera is shitty and lights were on. It is hanging from a light rail, i tried doing it on a rail and dropped another 1000 i had running. It didn't work that well. I have went back to stationary

It's one of the best choices for a hps setup at the moment. The amount of plants is irrelevant. It's for roughly 4x4, little more or less is doable because of the various settings. Place 25-30" above canopy, put 4-9 plants under it and boom, mj.

If u had your choice of either the Gavita or an Area51 pw150 for my situation which would you prefer? They're within $200 on price so the difference in cost isn't that much of a factor

Any experience with LED?

no sir. when they have a plug and play that is proven, I might look at led, but it seems the DIY led is working for some and I don't want to experiment with them when the gavita is working so well. Leds would mess with my feeding and temp/humidity of my room.
