i dont like 400 watt hps . they lack any penetration . a 600 is a very good bulb . the 1000 way better . if you want more then go with all 600 much less heat and easy to control over the 1000 . you wont be happy with 400 . in a 10/10 room

Gavita de x4
630 cmh de x4
4x ac hoods with 2x mogul sockets. Run 1x3100cmh bulb and 1x4200k cmh bulb in each hood (raptor hood iirc).
2 rows of 4x600s

let us know what way you decide . you wont need 15 k. for a 10/10 about 5 or 6 top notch with a co2 injection .

I currently have 6 1000's in my 10x10 grow space over two rows of plants, both canopies cover roughly 4'x9' of space. Could I get away with putting a single 1000 watt or DE HPS on a light mover over each row and still expect a good yield and dense buds?

No, I don't think so. 1 1000 watter will do 4x6 or 7' on a light mover. You could get by with 2 600watts on a light mover for a 4X9'. I don't let my lights move more that 2 or 3 '. Personally, I am beginning to switch over to Cobs. They are pretty expensive but I think in the long run, LEDs will be best. I'm running 1040 watts of COBs on a 40"X 8' run.

Might as well buy 30 or 36 COBs. 15 to 18 per side.

He's going to need more than that at 50% eff, he needs to run the same as you at 39 watts/sq ft. not sure the actual coverage area for OP for a 100 sq ft room.

Yes he would need about 45 of them. I am spacing mine at roughly 16 to 20" apart with 3 COBs per 36" long heatsink. I am after penetrating power right now, not so worried about efficiency at this point in time.

Best lighting for that space IMO would be 2 600w hps or MH or maybe one of each. My bloom room is slightly narrower at10x8'. I only run a single 600w with 2 small LEDs as side lighting; a 300w panel & 185w UFO to target lower bud sites on ripening plants. Tried to add more wattage but anything more trips breakers. Can easily fit 9 plants if I rotate them everyday but I could fit more if I added another hood or a light mover.
If you can exhaust the heat or add an a/c and don't mind paying for the power a 1000w or two could yield a lot. An LED equivalent to 600w or 1000w will be costly but small cheapo LEDs work great as side lighting.

Older post but i dont care. Where do you people get these ideas for ligting up an area? Most of these post suggestions on lighting plans are way underpowered. And some over powered. 10x10.area? Easy. If you got the height..roll with 4x1000 watt hps lamps. With a 1 foot perimeter walkway (you will need it) and for wall mount fans and what not. 1 to 1.5 lbs per lamp until you get good. Ditch the air cooled glass and ducting/fans. Get a minisplit.and dehuey. Co2 and seal room up. Get 2 to 2.5 lbs per lamp. Done. Numbers...plant size..pot size..feed times..feed strengths..medium...your gonna have to figure it out trial and error and dial that stuff until you get the weight and quality you want. (getting good). See ya.

1k's are good for a square area of around 5-6 feet. Two 1k's would leave a lot of shadows around the edges of a 10x10 but four would be about perfect. I think the best hid set would be 6 de 630 watt cmh fixtures.

I already posted before I realized how old the post is but, yeah, some of the suggestions are so far off I don't care.
This guy is correct. We usually get 1-1/2 lbs a light average with 1000w. I usually do 4 plants a light in 5 gallon warriors in hydro.
