what to use 600 bare bulbs or 1,000 watts?

im switching to all bare bulbs now with adjust a wings, since I now have a mini split ac unit. does anyone have any input on why 600 ushio"s are a better choice then 1,000 horti?

IMHO a 600w horizontal is the best way to go, 600watts are the most efficient when it comes to the lumens to watt ratio. However if you have the time and know how to build a stadium or something along those lines then I'd suggest 600w vertical to get the most out of your growing area. If you have an extra one run (2) 600watts for 1200watts you'll get better coverage and penetration then the 1000watt.
