Light Opinions/Question

Hello all! I am in the process of reworking my room. I was/am running two 1000s. I am unsure if I should add another 1000 or, switch it up to four 600s.? I know that I currently have enough light but would like to add more power:-P. My room is 6*6*7, and my style of growing is SOG with no veg time, straight rooting to 12/12. Heat will not be an issue as I am running A/C and have a vent. system that will control any issues I will have with adding more light. I am very appreciative of all the help and advice, I welcome all negative and positives you might find important to consider. I have searched and was unable to find any info that might benefit me in making this decision.

Thanks Again,
Smoken M.

you should only use x1 1000w or x2 600w in that space. 2-3 1000w is too much. your wasting cash.

i think you would be better off to sell one sytem and throw a 400w in there and get some upgrades.

I'm no good with big lights but have you considered the power source. 3 1,000w lamps using 110v will pull a minimum of 27 amp. Unless you've done a little wire work most grow spaces don't have 220. In a small house that could be as much as 20% of the total breaker panel capacity.
