Two 600's, one 1000 and a mover, or two 1000's?

Alright so I've finally got my new set-up well on its way. I've got a hidden door entrance into a large closet that is about 8ft wide and 4 feet deep. I'm only planning on growing in about a 6X2 area and its pretty long and skinny. Thus, the all important question: lighting. So what do you guys think will be the best for me? I'm debating between a 1000 watter on a mover, if the mover is needed...or 2 600 watters. What do you guys think? Let me know. Thanks.

two sixhundreds on movers is much better, if u do it right it actually consumes less elec! but if i had a long skinny space like that i would definately look into the T'5s they have blown everything else away

If you don't want to deal with movers, I'd say you're best off with 2 600's, and if you can afford it the 1000's(but that might be overkill). Let me explain why the 1000's might not be worth your money...

If you go with the 2 1000's, that's a great deal more heat to deal with and you'll end up needing extra ventilation. Not to mention the $, plus if you're building a sog or scrog you can go with the cheaper 600's and still get great penetration.

Best bang for your buck is the 2 600's, spaced evenly over each 2*3 space. I'd say stay away from the movers, you're only dealing with an area 2 feet wide and they are better suited to larger rooms IMO. Nothing wrong with the idea but you probably don't need to spend the extra money.

Thanks for the advice. So 2 1000w would be overkill?? Im doing a PVC aero grow so im planning on only vegging clones for a week or so then straight to flower. Only about 10 plants at once but they'll be spread out in that long skinny area. Let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thanks again all help is appreciated.

Ok, the time to buy the lights is coming up on me quick as my clones have been in the cloner for a couple of days. As it sits now, I have 1 1000w light but i can afford to spend a little money, thus should I buy two 600w's and sell the 1000w?? Or will the 1000w be enough...or what is my best option? All opinions are appreciated.
