    Yes, mine arrived a couple days ago. Gonna be a couple weeks before i have it up and running though! Still gotta buy a Light System and another atmospheric controller, and a fan and carbon filter. It's all good though, i got time since i still need to germ some seeds and veg for awhile.

    if you plan to use up all of that space (4x4-5x5) then get the 1,000.
    If you need room for equip, nutes, etc, and only plan to use 3x3-4x4, you can get away with a 600.

    600 will be easier on temps and easier on the bill.
    But if you can control temps on the 1,000 you should get more buds

    if supplementing with led u can get away with the 600. You gotta get an air cooled hood regardless and a cheap duct fan from home depot to suck that hot air out. you can keep those air cooled hoods very close to ur plants...almost touching them to be honest. i have 3 4x4 tents so i can probably offer up alot of help if u have more questions. i pull 400-500 grm per tent with 1000k and 12 ladies

    I run two 600 watt HPS lights in a 4x8 tent and like that I have two light sources to more evenly spread the light. I would just recommend that you have good air circulation and temperature control. You should get a good yield with either a 600w or 1K, I would just emphasis the importance of proper air circulation.
