2 plant vert......should or not

Hi all just wanting o know if I'm wasting my time growing vertically with only 2 plants.

These 2 plant have been vegged under large cfl's for almost 3 months.

1 is a monster nearly 3 feet tall exc the pot and the other about 2 feet exc the pot.

I currently grow with 2 600 hps which are hung vertically but I think I should have vegged another week as there quite sqwatty in size but whats on hem so far is impressive.

But didn't know if I was wasting light with the 2 bulbs hanging in the middle of the 2 plants and turning the plants every day.

Becuse the plants are so tall I was wondering if I would run into probs with light penitration with horizontal lmp in reflectors.

What do you guys think.
cheers

Just to add a little more info.

The problem I can see with a horizontal bulb in a reflector is that it may struggle to penetrate the lower parts of the plants if the plants are 3 feet + tall when they are flipped to 12hrs.

Where 2 vert 600 bulbs may cover more area of the plant bearing in mind that I turn the pots daily and focus the light on different parts of the plant every 24hrs.

What do you guys and gals think.......cheers

There still both under cfl's at the mo that's the reason why I'm asking the question.

I just feel that vert is the better way for a tall busy plant

Cheers
