The Bloomspect 600w is only actual 132w draw. The 1000w is 180w draw. 312w total. You'd need 2x4x50w= 400w of that type of quality light for your space. You're a little short on light. I'd return it an look into a quality light. You'll be happier in the long run if you plan to grow for a while.

I can still cancel the order I just ordered it 5 hours ago LOL any recommendations on a better light in the neighborhood of $100 can't really afford much more than that at the moment

Check the lighting section. People can probably recommend a better light from like Alibaba or wherever they get cheap quantum boards.

Can you buy used grow equipment where you live? Craigslist is full of people who are upgrading or just gave up. I got a used SunGro 1000w hood/ballast for 120. Bought a bulb for 65 and I will be good for a few grows. Buying new is great, but well made equipment can survive and endure quite a bit.
