go with the 2x 600w you can spread the light as you see fit if you wanna go hard get 2x 1000w we're talking hps tho mh might just be over kill i would partition off two different rooms veg room being the biggest half the room for veg with a 600w mh the other half for seedlings and clones with a 4ft 4bulb t5

edit:arch your back more in your pics it'll be sexier :)
i mean find pics online where the chick as her back more arched

Why make the veg room bigger? It takes a lot more space to flower than to veg. 25 sq ft of veg space could easily feed probably 200 sq ft of flowering space.

I'll give you free advice - don't do that. Don't let someone else tell you what to do anymore than you'd let someone else pick your wife. Go slow and learn on your own. Start on a small scale with a very small investment (I'll suggest for free how to do that). Learn some basics the hands on way and then you'll be ready. Maybe you'll need to ask some questions at that point - but you'll be an educated question asker.

I always tell newbies - the best "yield" you can hope for in your first coupke grows is the learning you harvest, not the bud.

I just can't agree with that. Far too many times I have read or heard how someone started small, they started with CFL's or low wattage HIDs and before long they were disappointed with their results, so they tore down and upgraded, and then they tore down and upgraded again and maybe again and again until finally they decide that it's time to do it right, to do it the way they should have from the beginning, and they go whole hog.

It isn't any easier to learn how to grow, to learn how to read your plants under lower wattage or in some Rube Goldberg setup. And it certainly isn't a wise way to spend your money to come up with, maybe, something like a CFL setup and then go to, maybe, a 150-watt and then a 250-watt and then, maybe, a 400-watt and then, maybe, a 600-watt and then 1000-watts, while the whole time having to add and alter other aspects of a grow room to be able to deal with the upgrade.

If you have the money and someone to help you do it right, go for the gold, period, thee end.

50% of the final results someone ends up with is due to growing conditions/environment. The sooner you have that as 'right' as it can be, the sooner you will be getting the most out of the genetics you purchase.

for clones/mothers/seedlings also the more plants you have in veg the better chance you have of filling your quota with females if you get too many you can always sog

Finally, thats been my opinion the whole time. I dont have to start out with 10k watts, but if what I'm going to need next year is 3 x 1000 I figure I may as well start off with 1 x 1000. If somewhere down the line I'm going to need a 8" exhaust....may as well drop an extra $30 and get that now.

theres no somewhere down the line you will need a exhaust if you get 1000w that joker is gonna be hot you need somthing to take all that hot air out of your area or your gonna have some pissed off little plants might waht to consider getting a hood with a cooling flange so you can hook your duct right to the hood
