I know i am happy to say my little gavita @850 w

Is doing as good as i could hope for stretching her over 7.5x7.5 lol
I fuckerd half my room so my yeild measure will be lower then it should be
But next run should be better



Ive been having wild thoughts of using the gavita
For half the room for a seed running rig

Then taking the other half of the room and stacking 2 led strip set ups my gears are turning

What would max the area using the 2 ft double row f strips?

And what driver would you use?

To max the area, you'll want about 600-700 watts

You have a few options for drivers (and you'll want to wire all strips in parallel)

1x HLG-600H-48A (for ~600w), 2x HLG-320H-48A (for ~640w) , or 3x HLG-240H-48A (for ~720w)

Having multiple drivers will obiously let you dim multiple sections. I put approximate wattages because the meanwell A version drivers pump out a bit more than their maximum rated currents. B version drivers have external dimming leads so you can hook up your own potentiometer.

If you're aiming to go higher than 600w, I'd throw in an extra 2 or so strips in the mix.
