i will be growing in the UC next and will probobly start with a 4site unit. I was gunna grow bushy plants and run the lighting vertical but then decided i didnt want to run 4 1000w bulbs. so i decided to go with a scrog style. i will veg for about 4 weeks and do intense LST. The question i had was, since the light will only need to penetrate the top canopy over the scrog instead of deep penetration do you think i should go with 3 1000w lights, or 2 1000w lights or do you think i should run 4 600w lights so each light can focus on each plant. i know the 600w wont have as strong penetration as the 1000w but ive read that that not an issue if your going scrog. and its better to have more light coverage on the canopy.. any advise on what i should do?

If it was me I would use 2 1k's, just put 1 over 2 plants and grow them big enough to use up alot of the light. Plants grow so fast in the UC you gotta be careful, I heard they can easily triple there size during stretch in flower.
