i have to say fuck you to the dickhole answer talking trash about 1000s. i use them regularly and have great yields. the more light you give them bitches the better. also you obviously dont know squat becuz its growers choice and preference. what if a guy have a 6 ft tall flowering monster? 600 wont handle that.Don't waste your time on unnecessary energy 1000w is too intense for any plant and is rarely used in hydroponics by people who know what they are doing, chuck it out put in a 600w save your power bill and get a greater yield

The OP's question was answered but overlooked...there is not a set distance for 1000 watt bulbs....
Generally ...anywhere from 10 inches to 2 ft above canopy

In your garden you are covering a 36 sq ft space with 1 x 1000w lightMy 12 x18 room can pop out 70 plants @ 4 oz per ...non hydro grow
10 - 600 will cover a 8 x 20 area (1 every 4x4 for best results) = 160 sq ft
6- 1000 will cover a 12 x 18 area (1 every 6x6 for best results) = 216 sq ft.... who has more sq ft and a better spread??
Just as long as your in the 2500 or more lumens per sq ft zone.... your garden will turn out fine from my experiences mine runs at 3000
yes I have a light meter.... 5500-5800 FC @12 inches
but you are suggesting a 600w will only cover a 16 sq ft space
you are allowing a 1000w light to cover over 2x the space of a 600w a 1000w light does not produce 2x the lumen of a 600w neither is it rated to cover 2x the space as a 600w but in your calculations this is what you are suggesting , you are under using a 600w light by your calculations
your personal arrangement and shape of your garden/environment maybe better suited to fewer 1000w lights i accept that
however if you allow a 600w to cover over 16 sq ft you will get a more balanced calculation
covering 20 sq ft with with each 600w light instead of 16 sqft
this is a more balanced amount of footprint, since you are covering 36 sq ft with a 1000w @ 3888 lumen per sqft
1 x 1000w = 140,000 lumens over (6x6) 36 sq ft = 3888 lumen per sqft (216) sqft @ 6000w
1 x 600w= 92,000 lumens over (5x4) 20 sq ft = 4600 lumen per sqft (200) sqft @ 6000w
so you can see that a 600w light can cover more space than you are giving it credit for
not only that it will actually produce more lumens in this space of 20 sq ft per 600
to reach the same lumen level of 3888 we could increase the 600w coverage to approaching 24 sqft at 3833 lumen
10x 600w @ 24 sqft per light is 240 sq ft @ 6000w @ 3833 lumen per sqft

I did.... isn't a 4x4 area 16 sq ft
if you do a 5x4... your not squared.... your not balancedIn Denver all my growers are using a 600 every 3x3 on our flood tables...that's the best size for a 600 with square hoods
this is a 10 x10 with 4 1000s lights have been raised for photo..5 ozer plants in 6.5 quart potters

True, But I was not trashing him at all. was just telling him throwing out his 1000 and getting a 600 in will be more efficient because the truth of the matter is 100 watts Is too aggressive for a marijuana plant.

good q havnt read the answers, but here are my thoughts. I run a 600w and a 1000w, hi flow air cooled hoods so they sit at ambient temp, the 1000w has a massive hood xxxl so the light is spread amazingly well an the sativas can get to 12 inches from the bulb b4 bleaching occurs, the other hood id prob half the size so a 600w is perfect as the 1000w bulb would b too strong, the indicas sit under it. So it depends on hood size as to whether u can run a 1000w usefully in a confined space...I grow in a tent. The indicas tend to bleach a lower light levels than the sativa doms ive run...sorry I don't no about autos. I like my 1000wMy autos broke dirt how fare should light be from them?

thats a fail. it depends on how you use them. i use them for the sq footage that comes with the bigger bulbs. also my buds come out way denser than they ever did with a 600. a 600 just doesnt have the light penetration i need to grow a plant for more than 2 or 3 months and then flower it. veg with a 6 sure but i flower with a 1000 becuz any smaller a bulb and i get shitty growth on my buds. its all growers preference and growers choice.

tyes fuck your 1000. j/k
lmfao fukin thing so big an so bright I had to buy horticultural glasses which u don't need with 600, this 1000w piece of shit sure does improve bud density but ill prolly shove it up my ass or in the can in case the lumen police bust me over efficiency...bet u all want one now..

Your not a very nice person, your gonna end up getting enough people mad to where they will just start giving ya bad info as retaliation. Keep in mind sir we do not have to help you at all. We are taking time our of our day free of charge to advise and suggest and nothing seems to be good enough cause you keep getting snippy at people.. Maybe try what i suggested and stop making threads if you dont like how we are answering.
