r u doing it scrog or sog style?

Im not a big fan of the medium your using...perlite is cheaper.......

what size is your area?

if your not worried about getting busted then grow lots of plants in 25 litre pots so as to reduce your growing time....

If you are worried try and grow under 5 plants........

I'd guess 7-8 plants for the 1000w and 4-5 plants for the 600w...I'm currently building a dwc bucket setup..so is pipeman...though he's about 2-3 weeks ahead of me..

By this I take it you are going to use the SOG method, you can go up to 9 plants per square foot.

A 1000w will cover 20 sq/ft so 20 x 9 = 180 plants.

 

A 600w will cover 12 sq/ft so 12 x 9 = 108 plants.

 

Using the lights that you have and due to them not being matched I would build two grow rooms, use the 600w in one room for the clone/veg cycle and the 1000w for the flowering room.

 

I don't think clay balls are suited to SOG growing, perlite or rockwool would be better for small root systems.
