2-3 k hps layout ?

Hey guys,
have moved my grow and stated a new tent
Looking for some help on my light layout. I have a 6.5x6.5x6.5 grow tent, set up with 2- 1k hps in cool tubes. Will b running 3 systems in there for a 2-3 wk harvest. (plan to add 3rd 1k light in future)

NOW the question is how should I run those lights?
Meaning, 1 over each rack, (length of the racks). Or should I run the 2 side by side?
Also I should still adjust height of lights periodically right, or is it enuf lumen to leave @ one lvl?

Running length wise, would I still need to adjust their height periodically with the plants?

I'm thinking that since a 1k has a penetration of about 3 ft then I may not hv to adjust. also for now Ill be adding a 400 watt mh the middle (no cool tube, vertically hung) Plan on adding the 3rd 1k hps in the future.

Perhaps I should mention that I only veg for 3 wks @ this time. (3 wk rotation).



Here r a few pics of wat I got up so far.

Well fuk it. Ive gonn w/ this 4 now

nice dude.
just a thought that MH light in the middle, i cant help but think that is dangerous. maybe you should double check that for heat etc

just some advice.

don't want no fires

Yea I was worried about that at first, but I did a test run and all seems well.
The MH is only 400 watt though, and it actually hangs lower than the pic makes it seem, so its not right on the tent top
