I currently have 2 MarsHydro 300 watt lights (135 watts at the wall) in my flowering space. I also have 2 45w led bulbs and 4 small cfl which I was using for germination and early veg. I also plan on growing auto's almost exclusively for the early harvest. I have been thinking (a very dangerous thing for me to do) that I might upgrade my lights. Would it be worth my while to upgrade to say 600 watt led's. Or I could hang all my veg lights in the flowering space to improve my light levels.. Growing autos I don't need separate veg and bloom spaces.
 
HI Biker,
I think in general more light is always better up to about 200w per plant. This said, my intuition is that it's not just about the watts and some lights just give better results for your electricity dollar.
I have an Advanced Platinum P300 and a cheap 300W Roleandro 5w full spectrum. Personally I've been constantly impressed with the P300's performance (tight node spacing, eager fat budding, great terpene profiles) and underwhelmed by the cheaper light's performance (stretchy lackluster growth).
