this is gona b like a ford vs chevy thing. your gona get people comin in n saying whatever they use is best etc.
there is a TON of info on that issue. I'd recommend hittin the search bar.
that aside. i just switched from 1k's for 6's. i think it depends on the type of growing you do. if you grow big tree/bush style than 1k's but if your running SOG or SCROG than the 600's are the way to go.
honestly tho hit the search engine and you'll find a ton of info on this topic.
You can hit the search engine, you can read, you can hear opinion after opinion on the matter but I'll tell you from straight up experience as I have recently made that switch this fall....1000 watters rock dude, I just showed my homie my top colas as we compared his grown under 600s, same strain (my Sour Diesel), he's upgrading ASAP bro, there's no comparison.......and trust me I thought the same till I got the 1k.
does anyone think using the 2 different w lights in a room would be better, different light spectrums from the different watteges??? thoughts please farmers, i have both, might give it a try....
p.s great thread, iv been wondering about this myself recently

thanks mayn. this is what i was looking to hear.
i have a 1000w hps and 3 600w dual spec hps n only ever used the 1 or the 3 600's, does anyone think it would provide a fuller spectrum using say 1 or 2 of the 600's and the 1000w together? or is the 1000 just providing the same spectrum of light just more of it?
hey baba g hope u well, thanks for the reply bet u have been up to your eyes in dankness so thanks for finding the time lol, il give a go next round :banana1sv6:hey critical , the spectrum from the 600 & 1000 are bout the same if your running same bulb in each. You can mix them together but your canopy under the 1000 will be a lil more filled in most likely, just make sure your 600watters are closer to canopy then the 1kw and you can most def blanket extra light!
Dual arcs are a trip, u can see the mh and hps elements , both red and blue burning up in the hood. Cool looking but the neg is that u have a 600 watt and 400 watt to make ur 1000 watts if its rated at 1000 watts.
Your hps lamp will ony put out the red spectrum for flower growth. Your mh only the blue.
Reason i used the duals is that i didnt want to swith lamps cause i veg in there for 2 weeks or so. Thought the duals would do me well, but not so sure yet. I have the hps 1000 watters and duals staggered.

At least consider buying one of the new ballasts like solis tek where you can burn a 400,600 or a 1000 by just turning the knob and putting in the proper sized bulb that way when/if you want to step up to a 1000 you dont have to buy a whole new ballast.Then you can experiment and not have to buy a new ballast if you want to change later.
