so heres the deal: have a cab that is 2ftx4ftx6ft...the flowering chamber is more like 5ft high..do too the veg chamber being 1ft high. just to root some clones yea dig?? man i sound cool saying thatany way. dont have the money for my hps setup so im stuck with mh's to flower with..so my Q: is should i use the one 1000watt because it has more red sepcs??? or use two 400watts because they have more points of lights and can be placed closer?? i know its not a big space but i want the most bang for my buck..what do you guys and gals think?? any input is nice thanks and

The 1000 watt will produce 195000 lumens, the 2 400's about 90,000 lumens. 20% more power used, twice the lumens, if heat is not an issue........VV
