research is such a pain in the ass when your high...... smoke some and read this.....

Really good article and mostly only hard to read because it is in essay format.

I love my CMH. They're incredibly efficient. From what I have read, cycloptics is the best 315 hood. The fixture that really caught my eye is the ducted SunSystems LEC630. I'm not sure if cycloptics makes a similar model though. I don't think you will regret going with CMH.

DHF...... now on to the real problem I'm currently having..... My room is an odd shape..... for a grow room..... @ 14 foot wide and 6.5 feet deep..... i can easily add 2 Gavitas and two more tables..... no problem....... with an mini split ac and dehumidifier..... add some co2 and the side curtains you mentioned to contain the light and its done i have that room designed currently....... I added those curtains to my drawings last night for a visual of what it would look like last night....and it looks good.....
So here is my Issue with doing that..... i want a perpetual grow..... so i can add plants and harvest plants every two weeks..... Im thinking about 3x6 drain trays four of them on casters so i can role them out and work the tables as needed...... but for the life of me i cant figure out how to light the damn room..... to make this happen..... a Gavita only throws a 4x5 light pattern..... so some supplemental lighting is necessary..... I can move the wall out about a foot and a half making the room 8x14...... that's what i might have to do..... and that's a lot of work....
With proper side reflection , Gavita`s have no problem covering 5 x 5 areas easily from everyone I talk to at other places that do this shit commercially for a living Aspen....especially with adjacent tables and light overlap....that said...

Dans is right about just 3 tables to start with , and even though it`s an odd number for perpetual it can easily be worked out once the size plant needed for each run plus how many plants per table is determined for the yields required from each table that will be determined by how deep the lights penetrate for said canopy depth with all but no larfy underneath bullshit....and....

A mom/clone/pre-veg area is mandatory for perpetual production , and I used cabinets built outta plywood/osb covered inside with reflectix with T-5 8 bulb fixtures for the pre-veglings and 40 watt shop lights on top for rooting cuts....

I ran enough plants to phase out and do away with mom plants and just use lower limbs from all the plants in the bloom rooms while cleaning out the innards of the plants and getting rid of sucker branches so all outer end laterals get all the needed nutrition to be all they can be by end of Harvey....no larf allowed inside or underneath.....

I like the idea of roll around tables but not to move em outta the rooms to work em , but rather so you can push em up against the walls with orca , and run the curtain as close to the tables on the outside for as many watts per sq ft as possible to trap as much light and bounce it back toward the outer perimeters of the tables so......

They can develop as close to the the inside sweet spots of horizontal lights , but also to be able to move em out from the walls when they need worked , cuz I assure you reaching across 4' of sticky icky icky aint cool when your clothes reek till good and washed........and ...

14 x 5 with your curtain pulled @ 5' instead of the full 6.5' that light gets lost in , is 70 sq ft that 3500 watts would be ideal for , but 3 Gavitas over 3 tables with a 5 x 5 footprint gives you 40 watts per table to cover the extra 2' in length of the room without any foliage there for production.....now....

Gavitas are supposed to be brighter and do fairly better than HPS once correct distances from plants that're needed to ensure proper canopy penetration while not light bleaching or heat scorching the uppermost canopy are calculated , ....so...

Lotta lil things lil girl , but I like your style bout doin shit right the first time , so I apologize for being long-winded although I assure you I was around when perpetual began for staggered harveys and more crops per yr , I just never ran horizontal thus why I defer to Dans.....

Pm`s are always open to keep my old ass from clogging the thread doll....and don`t forget about RH....means more than most realize for consistent bottom line returns.....bet on it....and.....

Peace....DHF....:ying:......

my 2 cents.... link below to some good info on the double ended lights compared.

gavita i think had the highest par output even when the e-pap uses the same bulb. my experience with nanolux i willl never buy there products again an i own 20 of the nanoluxs, 8 e-papillons, an soon a few gavitas. Ushio,philips, or hortilux bulbs only..... u only hurt yourself with the knock offs. maxpar nanolux not even worth it


some good info

seems the link is redirecting to the main page an not the link anymore. on the main page, to the right. middle right you'll see a white graph labeled " data driven gardening " click there an its under the lsiting. good info on CMH's too..
