help needed with grow tent light

[kez]

i've just got a mega grow tent 2.4m long by 1.4m width.i'm just gonna pack it out with 25 big budda blue cheese in 10 litre pots.so the question i'm asking is.....should i put my 2x600 watt lights in there(1 either side of the tent with maybe 12 under each one) or should i put just 1 of my lights in the middle a buy a 1000watt light bulb.air flow etc isn't a problem.....just wondering what icmag grower would do?????

2x 600 watt I reckon

I agree 2 600. Thats a lot of plants. I have 2 600 in a 5x5x10. Vertical bulbs used. The heat is a major issue with this setup. I had to use a A/C to keep the room cool. I have my lights on the ends

yeah i'm abit worried about the heat but........the main thing is what to choose as far as lights.....

600 are more efficient the 1k. Multiple 600 is what I would go with

What kind of room is the tent going to be in etc etc etc.

Heat will probably be a concern so maybe you should consder a light mover instead of two lights.

Then go with 600 + 1K and rotate your plants.
