Ummmm...no.

How about a very high quality digital ballast dimmable MH/HPS setup from Yield Labs?

For $189.95, you can get this one in a vented hood ready to rock and roll: https://growace.com/yield-lab-600w-hps-mh-cool-tube-wing-reflector-grow-light-kit.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0O3Y3qXk4gIVxIKzCh1-oQmWEAQYASABEgL0dfD_BwE

It's more than enough for your tent.

It's the same exact one I've been using for the last 6 years. Actually though, I don't use the vent ready hood. I don't grow in a tent so I use the open hood reflector version of that same light. It runs $139.95. Same ballast, same bulbs, same everything but it's an open hood so you'd have a lot of heat to deal with in the tent.

I paid 200 for it years ago but the influx of cheap (and essentially worthless) LED's have driven the price down.

I was trying to stay away from the high lightbill cost of hps lights... Looks like that may be the way to go huh?

Your best bet right now is to really focus on the top 12" of your plant. Try to even out your canopy and get rid of all the junk @ the bottom of your plant that wont get any light. You still have time to do it. Put every bit of your 400w to work.

If you're in the continental United States, that light will actually use about 9 dollars more per month than the two lights you're using now.

And it will do, quite literally, 3 times better job.

If you post your KWPH rate (from your light bill) I'll tell you exactly what the difference is.

No, you are not.

You're new. You bought what they advertised, not what you got. You're learning. You'll not make the same mistake again.

Chin up. We've all been there at one point or another.

There are more than a few guys and gals around here that can help you out with LED's if that's the way you want to go. For me, Timber makes the best, but they are VERY expensive. Worth ever penny of it.

There are a few folks around here that can walk you through building your own as well.

Yo gimmie if I was you I would use a 400 watt hps/mh right along side your blurple light that would really crank things up and you would still be using the light you already bought and with some training I would shoot for at least a pound and a half outa that 4x4. I got a 400 hps/mh ballast hood and bulbs for 100 bucks and I can pull 2 pounds out of a 4x4 with a 600 watt roleadro led actuall Watts is 250 I think though
