How much light?
More light!

Just make it 4x4 n throw a 1k over it.

Or, Let's see, a xxxl hood is about 2.5' wide, so if you're gonna do em in a line, if you're ballerbaler do 4 1k's n put 2' in-between your trays n scrog away...

2x600w would probably be ideal, look at the SunMaster or similar reflectors.

If budget, heat and height aren't a problem, I'd go 2k too. 1k would do you though if you can get it into a 4x4. I'm not personally a fan of the 600s unless there are height restrictions.

What about going with a Raptor Hood and a Phantom ballast? You could run two and get some really good numbers and quality.
