gavita pro 1000 in a dr150?

[oscarthegrouch]

I am thinking of putting a gavita pro 1000 in a dr150. The tent would be recirculating air in an air conditioned room. Am I dreaming to think that a 420cfm fan can cool this setup? anyone have any ideas?

i am thinking about getting a 4 by 8 by 8 room and putting 2 gavitas 1000s in it with a 800m3 fan....hopefully it will work! i dont like the idea of not being able to air cool it because it makes me think there is a chance i will not be able to control the heat =(

I'm getting a gavita pro 1000 for a homebox GL145, i think we can do it

I actually decided not to go with the dr150. Instead I'm getting a 4x6 room framed and insulated. I think things will be fine with air cooling in the fall and winter, but I'm sure the summer is going to be impossible without putting in an air conditioner. I'm planning to have the 420cfm fan on a thermostat exhausting into the garage, and the room intaking air from the garage. hopefully it will make for a cool room and a warmer garage. I just don't know how well the plants will tolerate a blast of cold winter air when the fans come on.

when it gets too cold just intake from somewhere else =) anyone else have used gavitas 1000s, how did you control the temps? was it easy? we need more input from people that have them and are doing it

Just picked up a pair of the DE lamp setups.
I'd say putting these in any short tent is a bad idea.

The DR15o is 6'6" even hanging it as high as possible, the way the ballast is attached to the light, will leave the light around 5'6". Assuming the pots you use are around a foot high.
You would be limited to very short plants. Maybe 2 foot tall plants if you use 1000w watts.
