Ok thanks. I might just order 3) 1000 hps and just be done with it. Will have to run a dedicate power source to that room from my breaker panel do to just the lights alone will pull almost 20 amp on there own. Fun Fun

Just got the 600 hps installed. WOW Those are bright. Yes I need to work on smaller space or just add more lights. But on the good news one of my girls is starting to get covered leaves in crystals. See how she likes this light compares to the 2 T5 4 feet bulbs she shared with her 3 sisters.

Dude, you should see a big difference. You will see it in bud development. You should see marked improvement in size, speed, and density 
Until you have the cash and/or get more lights, just go to the home depot/lowes and pick up a couple 4x8 sheets of reflective insulation board. Also there is 4'wide rolls of stuff called reflectix that is like bubble-wrap with mylar on it(only about 1/4"thick) that works really well for closing in spaces with reflectivity. If you intend to utilise the whole room for flowering then you can use that stuff for temporary enclosure to hold in more of the lumens without having to build a light-tight space. You just leave enough room up top and at the bottom for air flow and you should be good

My ex used to use freestanding "walls" made from PVC pipe with mylar or panda film taped to the PVC. It worked well because they are so easy and inexpensive to build, you can easily make them any size, and you can move them as the plants get larger.

Did you get your space smaller? If not, you are wasting a whole lot of light and not giving them as much as you could...or as they need.
