people may say 600 is enough but i have used a 400 in a 4x4x7 and that wasnt even close. then i went to a 1000 and that wasnt enough to keep the edges bright and its in a big kahuna hood. so i am using the 1000 and 400 both air cooled, over the 4x4 area.

dude tbh, last round i used 3 gallon pots but i transplanted too late so they never utilized the 3 gallons, they stayed in a 4x4 rootball. i wouldnt use less then 3 gallon esp after seeing the yield on a 4x4 rootball. if you have 25 plants under the two lights ....in a 4x4 tent. you wil get a good yield. expect just over a pound IMO.

in my opinion it would be perfect. fuck the 600s. im sure someone will say the 600s are more effecient but whatever.
