probably just one... better with two... or one, and additional lighting, like a 200 watt CFL... thats what I use.. a 600 watt HPS, and a 200 watt 8U CFL
600 vs 1000 watt light

i fnd that the combined spectrum of the enhanced HPS bulb, added with the awesome vegging of a 200, 6400K CFL makes for a very stocky plant, with a better range of lighting and par... it works best for me, and the heat is easy to control... but thars just my preferance.. the cfl, I got the whole setup for $125... my HPS was like $350 for the whole digital ballast, bulb, and reflector and base

if you were gonna use 2 1000 watt lights... then Id go with two 600 watt HPS lights... and if u can afford it, throw some CFL in there

or even an led with two 600 watters.. I like to use horizontal reflectors... they even make a "vertizontal"

60 watt is better.. 3000 lumen is just the least amount of light needed to flower
