lights for new grow room

[Bongofury]

I have a closet I am changing into a grow room. The space is 3.5' X 7.25' X 8' high. Just over 25 S.F. If I use 1 1,000 watt HPS light I will have just over 5,500 lumans per S.F. If I use 2 600 watt HPS I will have just over 6,800 lumans per square foot.

Easier to hook up 1 light than 2. Would 2 give me a bigger foot print or over kill.

The room will house 6 plants I figure. Any thoughts?

using 2 narrow fixtures would give the best coverage with that size room.

I would take Two 600's over One 1000 all day everyday. Way easier to get the best Foot Print to cover the whole area and you get a better bang for the buck watts to lumens with a 600. jmo

Is this what you mean by narrow?

run the 2 lights into this y with only 1 fan? or just get 2 filters and fans?

I have a 1000W in a room that is 6.5' long and that is even a bit long.

I like the second hood. I think that using the larger hood will give you a better footprint. Cool tubes are great for small spaces, but you have plenty of space.

Use 1 fan, but connect the lights in parallel, not in series. A 6" 450 cfm should do.
