I'll be home in a couple of hours.... I have garden chores to do. Looks like a night time swim and if I'm lucky it will be cool enough to light The fire pit.....

I think I need to run the 240 for the ac first.. then a 50 amp sub panel and have the 6 240 off to one side and maybe 6 110 on the other side..... And for lights using Gavitas 650-750 and the controller from Gavita....with the outlets spaced out I can use timers and controllers easly.

I love the gavity controller. No messing around with timers or anything just run the 240 outlets wire the ballast up and your good to go.

Well that's my thinking they are lighter than the 1K fixture and 3 of the would do nicely...... with the controller my lighting would all but wrapped up..... and with no rf interference....

i've never checked into the workings of a Gavita controller , because theres never been enough head room in my gardens to run them .
so all you'll need is the 220 volt outlets for the lights ? the controller will take care of the timer part , plus dimming ? Cool !!!

The controller is mainly for the 1k fixtures, right? I haven't looked at them in a while but I recollect that the 750's can't have remote ballasts.

The Gavita controllers work with all pro series models. The 1k model as well as the 600/750 flex model.

Yea Ona the Gavita Pro series will all work with the controller... the pro models have a phone outlet built into the ballast to communicate with the controller and the lights are daisy chained together. most gravitas are one piece fixtures but they do make ballast and hoods, the problem with remote fixtures is the rf interference.... im still undecided with the fixtures for the moment, Gavitas are top of the line and i know them after using them so that's what im sticking with. The controller will make it so easy to do all my wiring and electrical work without worrying about timers, hot start delays and high temp shutoff's..... so.....

Get a good controller (I use a Titan Atlas 7) and make sure to mount it at the same height as your canopy. CO2 is heavier than air so it will pool on the floor. Have good fan circulation at floor level to keep the CO2 moving. 1000ppm is plenty. You can raise temperature in the room as well. Keep a close eye on plants as deficiency can pop up faster.

at least you have easy access to tanks, i guess you might have enough ac to cover a burner though by the time your done. i always used tanks, getting ready to take another run at them myself

I ran a sealed room a time or 2 make sure you have a way to dump the stale air during lights out. And a dehumidifier. Co2 burners are the best way to go, but it adds heat, so account for that in your a.c. needs. Bottles of co2 are a pain, but don't add heat. Propane is like 20 times the run time of a bottle of co2. Any fuzzy logic controller is good. I forget what brand I used. Also you need to account for the increased nutrient usage. With gavitas and co2 you should be going right past hand grenades to artillery shells boom.
