In my mind 2x 600hps or even 1x 1000hps seems a big much for that small area, i would consider a 250hps or 400hps (that has an electric balast), some kits come with a MH and HPS bulb, nice kits.

400 hps is top's for that space, i would maybe even go 250w.

Are we talking metres or feet here? I think there is some confusion going on.

Either trolling, or well...


250W HPS will effectively cover a 3x3 growing area. Your just creating excess heat when putting that much wattage in such a small area. What is the average ambient room temperature outside of the box?

2x2m is a big tent. You could even do 4x600 if you can vent it.

2 600's would be better than 2 1000's cuz of the power you will be using.

yea u would most likely need 2 1000's for 36 sq ft. 2 600's would do but 2 1000's would do work. like dwc rebel said the power usage would be up there!

Is this grow power restricted or stealth cause a 2x2x2 tent with two 1000w hps plus all the extra electrics isnt very stealth or micro

x2 1000w=2000w
x4 600w=2400w

1000s are cheaper and use less power. not the same though
