3 1000w's vs 3 4 x 4 trays or??

If you had 2 4x4 flood trays with 2 1000w,s already, would it be better to purchase a 3rd 4x4 flood tray and a 3rd 1000w light or just 1 more light.

So in conclusion, which scenario is better?

3 1000w lights with 3 4x4 trays

or

3 1000w lights with 2 4x4 trays

Opinions please?

i don't know the answer, but i'm curious as well...

probably another light and tray, i mean shit 1000w lights are made for like 6x6 or 8x8 areas, you should be able to grow anywhere from 9-12 plants per 1000w light so figure it out, i guess you could just buy another light but that reduces the amount of chances you have to grow different weed. and competition for space over light becomes a factor as well, i mean its really just personal preference honestly.

i would think another tray also becusae you can have more canopy space?

and more plants of course

Anyone else want to chime in with their opinion?

lots of heat i assure you
if you plant above them the top plants may suffer a bit....
i dunno Im a noob but I know lots about thermal load....

hmm I dont know what you mean about "plant above" the trays and lights are all in a row

get a 4x8 table and cram 160 clones in there under 1000w with only 6 inches of soil no pots fill the bed

well I guess i have to make a grow journal and get some pics up for people to actually respond

1000 w runs up to 4x8 tray with a 10rpm light mover nicely.

use 2 4x4 s to flower with one 1000w light on a mover, and the other on a veg tray !

hmmmmm interesting
