so building a flower room, was given a 400w hps light yesterday, i did hook it up and place in my veg room until build is done but the question of the day is, what size hps light should i use for a room that is 9'x11'x7'. i am thinking of buying a 1000w hps light off amazon for 159 (see attached link).
the problem im wondering is would it be more advisable to buy 2 600w hps lights ( few bucks less then the 1000w hps light). i am also trying to not spend a fortune on the energy bill but i do know adding an hps light im looking at a high bill already, unfortunately by adding hps to my set ups. so would a 1000w light be suggestible to supply that room size, or would i be better off adding two 600w hps lights for that size room.
the advantages of hps surpass the disadvantages of having it and i feel that it will increase the bud production in the long run. im just not so sure on how to go about this so that way i am able to produce more yet cover the amount of plants i plan to grow (12-24). I dont plan to add 24 in the room at one time but rather added a few plants a week or every other week, that depends on other factors as i go along.
however i do see that the 1000w hps will cover more area rather then the 600w hps but if i add two 600w hps it will cover more area then a 1000w hps. if i go a 600w hps i can cross the lights to cover each others light path so it can cover more area rather then the 1000w. this is just so damn confusing to me, I have no true understanding or can i understand the whole production part of lights and the benefits they produce from one another. the site gives a brief understanding of it but does not go into detail and i really cant find any site that gives a more understanding (im a picture/hands on type of person). after i can understand this better i plan to put together a clear understanding of this for others to understand better (newer growers).
