is a light mover with 450W enough for 24 plants?

24 plants is the goal for my next grow.
plenty of space.
i have a 1000W hps in a cooltube for flowering, but i plan to get a 450-600W for vegetative.

with a light-mover on a 20 minute cycle, will a single 450-600W hps provide sufficient light for 24 vegetating plants?

its a tight squeeze, but i know the light will reach. will it be enough light?

dude you dont have to move the light around. Just huddle them under and switch spots when need. Put them in small containers or cups.
How big are your pots and plants?

for a few dollars more, i can relieve myself of a little bit of the moving around. i like to move them a little anyways. but considering the amount of space covered (estimated 4x6 feet), i feel the light-mover would help. also, i'm feeling more like the 600W than 400W. i'm using soil in 5 gallon pots. the plants have about 4 or 5 feet height of room to grow

yo look at my journal. I have vegged 20 mothers with a 400 watt. No mover or nothing. Once they get big put more light on them.
