What Lights to Use?

Hello fellow growers, I am looking for some opinons.
I will be getting a 3'x6' ebb and flo tray and cant decide which light to go with. Do I get a 1000w hps on a light mover or the sunlight supply grow pro dual 600w hps(with 2 hoods)? The room is a 7'x8' flowering room that will eventualy have 2 3'x6' trays in it as a part of a 3 tray cycle, harvesting 1 tray a month.

So with that said I guess my real question should be, over 2 3'x6' trays, Should I use 2 1000w hps lights with movers, OR 4 600w hps lights stationary?
I will be venting the lights and can install AC if needed, so heat should not be a problem. Thanks

Yeah, the 1000s on movers will be more of a hassle, especially with air-cooled ducts and wires, etc. With the stationary 600s, most plants will get light from a couple of sources anyway.

That room will be tight, you will have trouble working on the plants, but you'll find that out soon enough. I imagine you'll be growing small plants? How many plants/sqft? And only 2 of 3 crops in this room?

Yes, SOG single cola's may be 2-3 ft. What strains are good for this? The only thing I am worried about is space as you said. The first tray only has 30 but we are planning on 50-70 per 3'x6' tray,started in 3"x3"x3" rockwooland then into 6"x6"x6" square pots with hydroton. The trays are set up on wheels, and next to the 7'x8' flowering room is a 7'x8' veg room. The tray will veg for 7-14 days and then roll into the flowering room, in the space of the tray that just finished a week or two prior. Rolling the trays around should be easy because the
resivoirs are removed for cleaning.

Anyone see any problems?
please let me know, I will have pics soon. Thanks
