I would go with option B personally, better efficiency in terms of lumens and also better coverage and not so many heat spots which 1,000w lamps can often cause.

By majority: B) 6 600 watt HIDs ---> 3600watts total Wins! (these will be inline cooled!!!)
Question 2: How many plants should I fit under each 600 watt lamp(these are the number of plants that I can raise through maturation under a single 600watt HID)? A) 4 in a 2x2 area-----> 150watts/plant B) 9 in a 3x3 area-----> 66.67watts/plant C) 16 in a 4x4 area----> 37.5watts/plant D) You Pick the quantity and space required.[/center] Last edited by tenacity2986; 05-20-2007 at 08:49 PM. |

I have to agree and say option B but option A seems more versitle..There are so many more things you can do with A than B ...I mean like you can put 1 on the floor 1 on each wall and 4 overhead or spread them out same as you would do with option B but have more area to cover..... but option c is the least expensive on the light bill if you convert them all to 240's. As for the heat problem- well you are gonna have the same amount of heat out of 6 600's as you wil 4 1000's or 9 400's....Try it n see...lol but at least with 4 1000's you wiill have less duct work to pull off. This whole thing is crazy I gotta smoke...fuckers makein me think.
