No, because it's not really 600 watts unless you're buying something like the HLG 600, which is way outta your budget.
I'd look at HID, especially a used setup if you can find one, so you can see if you like growing.

LEDs will say they are this watt or that watt But when you’re shopping for one look at the actual power draw In the description. Because a 1200W is probably equivalent to almost a 600W HID or possibly less depending on manufacturer. LEDs Are good for heat, electrical bill & if you don’t want to pay to set up ventilation or cooling, there are so many considerations when looking for a great light, for a great price, that justifies your ROI “Return on investment” you don’t need nothing fancy just remember that & stand behind what you believe works best for you.
“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”.
But like Hydrokid said, considering that fall is here you may not have to worry about the heat associated with a HID light.
When you're saying 35w/sqft is that of planting space or area in growing in.
And will a singular 600 watt led work in a tent big enough to grow 2 plants?

A 600w LED, realistically, will only put out 75-125 watts. If you want 600w of true LED power, you’ll need at least $1500 usd.
Yeah I checked some lights on Amazon I see what you mean. Would 600w of HID be good in a tent
My bad saw what you were saying on amazonOK, don't listen to me, lol.

600w HID is good for a 4x4. 1000w is good for 5x5

Use the 50 euros on a quarter ounce of weed and wait until you can afford to grow.
Problem solved.

Just so you know I started with that 600 and a tent as always
Sorry for all the questions but if I got a 1200 is that good to use from seedlings to harvest?
