The plants will grow as large as you let them...remember once you flip to 12/12 they will stretch a little before they slow down growth and start to bud. I tend to let them grow to about 1/2 of total size then flip, they will stretch anther 25% and over the course of flower grow another 10%

a 600w will be fine for a 4x4 tent. I have...
you should practice on some bagseeds first though just so you don't toast expensive beans on trial and error...growing is not as difficult as people make it seem just research on enviormental conditions and provide them...the rest comes with patience. keep a clean grow room and your cats out of...
