i have a flower room i just built it is 10' x 6'

i am trying to decide what to do for lighting in it

i am deffly going HPS.. i just dont know if i should do 1 1000 / 2 600 / 3 600

i will have a AC in the room and 2 fans and also ducts fans venting outside connected to the lights.

so heat is not really an issue, i am more worried about best option to yield, and also best option to cover every sq foot of room.

the walls floor and ceiling will also have mylar on it

I'd go with the 600's, better light coverage with multiple bulbs, how many is up to you.

I'm using apx the same space, flowering right now using 2, 600W HPS and 1, 400W MH (for a greater spectrum mix). Seems to be working.

Nice flower room size. With those dimensions I would go for 3 600 hps. 600 watters are more efficient. And you have two areas of overlapping of lights.

Well sence you will need walking spaceatleast 1 foot around the room. That comes down to a 8x4 coverage needed. A 1000 covers a 5x5 area. And a 600 is a4x4. So I would go with 2 600 for now. If you find the placement of them don't give you what. Space them apart 2 feet more and add a 400 3x3 area or another 600. But try the 2 600 first grow. You might find heat issues with 3 to start. Just trying to save you a few bucks you will need later.
