the name of the game is yield for me so im doing a SOG with clones from a mother once i find my strain.
If i do the 1000 watt i can fit 64 plants in there on 2 week rotations. Im using pro mix and botanicare in .93 gallon containers that i can fit 4 in a square foot.
If i choose the 600 watt i would just do a 1 month rotations with 16 plants harvested every month.


So what do you think?

if you are after yeild.. i would have to say to go with the 1000 watters... there is an old saying in racecars... there is no replacement for displacement.. meaning bigger is better, and i guess this could be applied to growing as well.. the more lumens a plant can get the more it will yeild, always.. i guess the only issues you have to look at are the added heat that comes along with the extra lumens, and how that will affect things... 64 plants at a time sounds pretty sweet to me... best of luck with whichever way you decide to go, and i think you will love the difference from the 250

Thanks man, if i got the easycool i think the heat would be easy to control cause it would be contained in the hood for me to suck out.

yea i cant wait to have something bigger, i love dense buds and thats something hard to get out of a 250 watt.

no problem .... that easy cool sounds ummmm.. easy, lol...
i also use a 250 hps and my last grow i grew out my free beans from the attitude... g13 labs femmed diesel and their super skunk, and was quite pleased with the results.. super tight nugs of goodness, lol.. i think the key was that i only grow two plants under the light and kept them relatively close to the light... but i am sure that the results from a bigger watt lamp would be much better..
best of luck
