Challenge accepted.

I will start a thread once I get my supplies so we can all see if vegging longer will give us substantially better yeilds.

Plus Ill be using DE so if anything can do it DE can.

If we can go to the moon surely we can air cool a gavita

Air colling DE actuially hurts the spectrum and PAR as said by a Gavita rep.
Colling them is bad but cooling your room is good

Phillips by far has the best DE bulbs no questions asked.

Trippyness · Sep 22, 2015

So I will be doing a test for all of RIU with Video so we all can see if its worth it with high tech equipment and c02 as well as Hydro.
This is the only questions I have ever asked without a legit tested answer

MrStickyScissors · Sep 22, 2015

how do you get the gavita without the small hood atached to the ballast?

MrStickyScissors · Sep 22, 2015

I want that big ass hood with a double ended bulb in it. but how how. doesnt the ballast have to be connect to the hood?

Good question mate.

You can buy all the parts seperate.
Phillips Green Power 1k DE
Dominator XXXL DE Hood
Galaxy Select a Watt DE ballast or Solis Tek DE
http://growershouse.com/lights/ballasts/double-ended-ballasts

You can pat it yourself which is what im going to do for better converge.
Its all about the bulb. DE ballasts jut have higher frequencies.

Trippyness · Sep 22, 2015

Phillips, Solis tek and Ushio make DE bulbs currently.
GrowersHouse has a whole sidebar for DE stuff

Trippyness · Sep 22, 2015

Ive been looking into DE every day and that is what I am getting. No air cooling and no glass.

so the hood has the cord that plugs into the ballast right. think its called a mogul

MrStickyScissors · Sep 22, 2015

Yep its basically the same as SE bulbs except its just meant for DE.
From what I have researched the Larger hood will give better coverage as the gavita has hot spots.
