ok guys im pretty sure my first plant is male so i germed 5 w/w seeds 10 bag seeds and some other edible herb and tomato plant seeds. my question shoud i just run 1 600 w hps or 2 400 mh/hps conversions i cant find a 600w mh/hps conversion. i have all the odor and air all taken care of. my grow tent is the 5x5x7 dr150 street model. i know everyone says they suck but i got mine for 180.00 brand new on craigslist dont know if i got ripped off or not since they dont make them anymore. but i like it so thats all that matters. i have beefed up the roof cross members and braced the frame from the inside to make it more sturdy. thanks guys

2 400 w lamps won't produce the foot print that you need. You'd have a rectangular pattern on a square area. The 600w would be better. If you can handle the heat, I'd go 1000w myself. The hood decides the pattern of light. You want to try to find one that produces a square pattern. I believe that this is what parabolic hoods accomplish.
