    Default Lights for 1400mm square

    What's happening peeps, smokies back in the house and preparing for a new Amnesia adventure

    Anyway I've got a decision to make. My SCROG is 1400mm sq and I'm just wondering what kind of lights would everyone else use in this space? I currently use a 1m para 600w for veg and just add another 600w euro when flowering. Which isn't ideal, not very efficient if you ask me.

    I was thinking of just upgrading to 1000w and using just the para throughout the whole grow. As its a square it's quite a hard call. 2x 600ws in euros don't really work in the space......ideas on a postcard

    I would go with the 1000 watt mate. I have a Gavita Pro 1000 which pumps out up to 1150 true watts, it would be ideal in your space, you would only lose 50 watts over the 2 600's and no need for a reflector.
