would they be good in 3g bags iv never used 5g idk if its a big difference
Not even close.All the pros favor 600's...
FWIW, I water by hand (Pro-Mix in 2gal pots). The watering, itself, takes about an hour every 24 hours for a garden similar to the one described. I've considered running in water over the years, but I don't know as much about it, have no real experience working with it, and this isn't a hobby.Your gonna hand water a 6000w grow?

As long as you're aware.
So what strain are you planning on running?

I have a 7.5' x 9' room that I had 2 1000s in. (It was originally designed for 4 lights) They couldn't quite give me the coverage I wanted, really just 1 side needed a bit more light... so I tried 4 600's... I didn't like it at all. The 4 600s couldn't give the coverage I wanted after lowering them close enough to get the same intensity on the plants as a 1000. you end up with the areas between the lights not getting enough light...
So I switched back to the 1000's with 2 600's on the one side that didn't quite get enough light... works fantastic. But truthfully 4 1000's would be even better, I just don't want to pull that much juice.
1000's allow you to raise the lights higher and get better coverage and much more intensity in my experience.. once you lower a 600 enough for the same intensity as a 1000 you can barely fit 2 plants under it.. if you try more plants than that, they don't get as much light. you can easily get great light coverage to 4 plants with good intensity with 1 1000. so twice as many plants as a 600 IMO.
You might think about buying switchable ballasts so you can switch to 1000's if the 600's aren't bright enough for you. for your size room I think you would need 9 600s, or just 4 1000's... 10 x 10 would be pushing it for 4 1000s but I think you could do it... it's a little too big, but only by about 1 foot on each side....
