Hello,

i have the same tent with 4 big plants. 10 would be possible bit be very small SOG style. Also 2x 600w is overkill IMO. I have trouble cooling one 600w. Go with 1x 1k if you must tops. Just my opinion and remember summers coming up so cooling is a bitch.

If you want to hit 2-3 lbs , Get 2 x 1000 watts hps , 2 x 8'' cooled hoods , 1 x 8'' inline fan ( i recommend vortex ) 1 x 6'' inline fan. Instal the 8'' right after your carbon filter , if flange on your filter is 4 or 6 '' go to the store and buy a 8" flange screw it on filter , connect your 8'' inline fan ( 750 cfms ) then connect it to both your hoods and then exhaust the rooms and hoods air outside . Have the 6'' inline fan (400-500 cfms ) Blowing fresh air from outside into your tent , have the air ducting blowing air at the bottom of the tent and have your carbon filter in the air the opposite site of the tent . More air being exhaust will create a negative pressure in the tent and the air missing will be sucked in from the lower traps on your tents . This way your 100% sure no shtinky air will leak from youre tent . I suggest 9 plants under each light for a total of 18 in biggest pots u can have fite in the tent . I got 8x8 tents and fit 36 per
