Hempy style kicking off within a few days, I will be putting 5 plants into flower at a time, doing a SoG style grow with 2L hempy buckets. I plan on fitting 20 plants into a 5' x 2' x 4' area and having clones finish at about 24-34in. leaving ample room for space from the HID light source.

My question is, will a 600w HPS be able to reach the corners of my SoG efficiently enough? Or am I looking at supplemental lighting?

What type of reflector do you have?

same as you but i took out the metal reflector because i grow sativa on one side and indica on the other side of the closet
and it allows the sativas to grow slightly above the light
