At the moment im using one 400w and one 600w hps, both in standard reflectors, 13"x15"...

Do you guys think that one "Adjust a wing"-reflector with superspreader and just the 600w would to the job better?

This standard reflectors are not really good and i would really like to have just one lamp instead of two...

For the grow i will use 6 clones vegged for 4 weeks in 7 litre pots with coco...

Adjust a wings are pretty lousy reflectors, see my sig for a good thread comparing a ton of different makes and models. You have 16 square feet of area, which is too much for one 600w bulb. The 600 would give you 37.5 watts per square foot, which is definitely on the low side. You want at least 50, but 60-70 is better. Stick with the two bulbs, it gives the plants two points of light to grow towards and will promote a much more even canopy.

Get yourself one of the Growzilla reflectors so you can put both lamps into one reflector and air cool it. Your plants will thank you down the road :tiphat:
