I'm having a REALLY hard time deciding on how much light to buy for my recirculating dwc grow. I'm about 3 weeks away from needing to step up to HID lighting for my 9 "Pure Power Plants'. Here are the specs on the grow:

9 5gal DWC buckets
8'x5' flower room
7' hight
2 air cooled hoods
465cfm fan
A/C
De-Humid


I am thinking 2 600w electronic ballast with "EYE" HPS bulbs. I like this idea because it will use very little more electricity then my old mag 1000w, but with even more light and ability to put closer to the plants. Does this seem like enough light for this setup? I'm unsure how much light this strain in DWC can use. 1 or 2 1000w electronic ballasts are an option this is not enough. Thanks for the input!!!
