Default Is 1000w too much light for my room?
OK here is my question. I am borrowing a set of 1000w mh and hps setups from a friend. He needs em back and I need to purchase a new HPS light and Ballast. I am thinking Lumatek Digital have heard good things about this setup.

BUT my question is between 750w or 1000w. Is the extra power for the light a waste, serious question.

Here is a rundown of the grow room.

I started with an unfinished tool / utilty room in the basement. I built a wall and installed a locking door so I now have a room in a room.

I have sectioned the room off into three parts. Veg, Flower, and general utility.
The veg part is 3'x4' x8' tall with an adjustable shelf. Above the shelf I have a double 2' flouro and humidity dome for seedlings and clones. And hanging under is a 400w MH

The flower section is 4'x6'x8' with a 1000w HPS. I have a 250cfm fan pulling through a carbon filter. Temps hover at 88 to 92. The walls are covered in mylar.

The utility seciton is a couple feet wide and has a full shelf to keep tools, and nutes organized.
