If I have a 8x12 room (roughly.) I have used 3 1000W MH lights for 12 plants. The electricity costs blow....Do you think I would get the same results with just me running 2 of the lights or is 3 definitely the way to go?

Really depends on how big those plants are, if the footprint of two lights covers all the plants you should be fine. If you need to keep three lights running to cover everything you could consider switching one or two of the 1000s for 600s. You'd save a lot on power even just switching one, and it'd decrease your temps so might save a lil on cooling too.

You think I would get the same quality out of changing 2 of the 1000's to 600's?

It really depends on how you're currently using the lights man. Some people don't use their lights to their fullest potential bc of their setup and could pull the same amount from a smaller fixture. Can you get up a couple of pics or a quick description of what your setup looks like right now?

I need pictures. How big are the pots, height of room, weeks of veg.
I mean if you are pumping out 12 7foot monsters than fuck it. But if its anything less 3oz dried off each one then yes, drop one light.
