consider stadium style, better use of light. I can pack em tight that way

Hortilux 600 and 1000 have identical lumen per watt .. see for yourself

i'm guessing that your 11' is the height of the room? 6x8 length and width?.. If so two 600 watters will do you great to get you started.
As for the total number of plants it is totally dependent on how you're gonna grow.. you could fit a couple of tables and pack em in SOG style... if that's the case then you can put 50+ plants in a 6 x 8.. If you're going soil then maybe 8 or so.. in 2 gallon pots. Really tough to say without knowing more of the details and the exact dimensions of the room.

lol where do you see the identical watt i see 88,000 lumens for 600 and 145,000 for 1000's
You know how to do math right? Divide 88,000 by 600..what do you get... divide 145,000 by 1000..what do you get?
By the way, what's "LOL"? What's funny about my post?

yes its amaseing how the 600 is lumen per watt but i can assure you when it comes to actual growth and yield like me 
) 1160 dry grams per 1000 watt area when it comes to penetration when your pulling a 96+ wet grm bud from your plant at soil height its all about penetration and getting maximum yields look at this pic day 18 pure power plant from flipping to flower and some other strains in different weeks

w/ a nice air cooled reflector & good venting it would be hard to cover 8x8 of plant canopy with 1k. Unless you purposefully raise the light to gain the coverage of course, but I like to have an air cooled hood a close as possible with lots of air, with a non air cooled reflector lets say a wing style that is raised 2-4 ft above some plants, yes that will cover a larger area.
The point was it isn't "amazing" lumen per watt. And I use 1000's too.yes its amaseing how the 600 is lumen per watt but i can assure you when it comes to actual growth and yield like me

im thinking 50 plus plants is a little much for 2 600s. how would one be able to think once he/she steps inside the grow area.
Nah.. 2x600's will cover that space. What you choose to put in that space is up to you though. 50ish SOG friendly plants in 4" cubes will do great under 2x600's in a flood and drain. Obviously, 2x1000's would be better.. but 600's will still do about half as good

sweet dude thanks ill takes a look and no! lol 11' is not my ceiling 6" is the room is 11x8 with only a 6 foots celiing wich blows so is this going to have an effect and another question i wanna put 16 plants under the 2 600s would it be better to scrog lets say 8? orwhat do u guys think some mentioned outta 16 plants mayb ill get 2 ounces per plant help me out guys its pretty much like my frist grow so just curious on some numbers i dont expect to much just want all to go well
What medium are you growing in? 2 oz. per plant times 16 plants is attainable under 1200watts. 2 x 600 is a little less than ideal for a room that size. 4 x 600 is what i'd be shooting for in the future. Maybe even 5.
6' ceiling .. figure you're gonna lose about a foot for the light fixture and another foot or so for your pots/buckets or whatever.. that leaves you with about 3 feet of headroom. I'd be looking at squatty indica's. Kush, Blueberry, Chronic, Grapegod.. something squatty... Veg them about a week or two depending on strain... w/e strain you get find other grow journals of people who grew it and try to figure how much it's going to shoot when you flip the lights. I'd be trying to get my plants about 25 - 30 inches. I'd top them after a you have about 5 nodes or so..
You can grow w/e you want though m8.. those strains I mentioned would just be easy with good yield. Best thing is to just get your feet wet. Pick a strain.. get the grow room setup..and get to growin. With 2x600's you'll be happy with the yield so long as you keep all the other variables in check. You should be able to do anywhere between 1/2 gram to 1 gram per watt providing you don't fuck things up

right on dude thanks for the advice yeah prtty much just have to get my feet wet and just do it
