I have been doing 2 at a time in 20 gallon pots with a trellis or a net of some kind under 600w se gavitas for a little bit. Ive been harvesting 7-11 zips off each. How much better do you think I might do with the 1000s or the phantoms?

Those 600 per plant is optimum . a 1000 is over kill . unless its veg for 6 months and topped. 3 times. Plant will only decide to soak up so much light. I suggest side lighting with led in the middle and bottoms of the plant . this will add yield

If you have the space - 1K's are never overkill! You wanna run sativa's or high sativa cross's? You better run 1K's!

Why do you think that 2 600's are suggested for a small space over a 1K? MORE available lumens/ Umol or how ever you want to put it!

Why do commercial ops run 1K's over 600's (Unless they invested in COB)? What about a 1K DE?

Keep your 600's O'conner!

I don't have much for space but if I got something stronger it's still not necessary to use the ac right now. If it gets too hot could dial down those phantoms too right?

I used to have a lot of 1000 had to go to the 600 heat . way to many lights . I don't want the 600 or 1000 hps . I want led
