can i get some opinions plz. is 4 600 watt lights enough to cover a 10 x 12 room? i think that would be efficient enough for a sog. what do yall think:weed:

the room is 120 square feet, that comes to 20 watts per square foot. Not nearly enough
what is going to be the size of the garden?
your aiming to get 50 watts per square, more if possible.

600s are only good if 1Ks are too much light/heat... definitely doesnt sound like your problem.

i have a small garden with 2KW that gets about 100 watts per square ft.

you can use 1Ks if you get air cooled hoods... and vent all the hot air of the bulbs directly out as a separate air stream from the room exhaust with the carbon filter...

the ventilation is the key...
