600 watt hps light question

I am about to start my third medical grow and have a question about light penetration. How tall could I grow my plants with 2 600 watt HPS in a 5.5 x 5.5 x 9 foot grow room. I will have 6 plants in 7 gallon grow bags. Would like to increase my yield so I can donate more to those who can't afford to pay dispensary prices. Any advice is appreciated.

I think it all depends on your style of growing. I can't give an exact answer to your question, but I have this HPS chart that will hopefully shed some light (haha, pun intended).

Looking at light chart, you will not get optimum light penetration with 600 watt HPS if your plants get more then 3-3 1/2 feet. Not sure longer vegi time is worth it
