600 watt in a 4x2, yay or nay?

Is a 600 watt metal halide too much for a 4'x2' grow tent?

opinions? Pros, cons. This will be for flowering, which will start soon with a journal.

A super reflective space may help. But still I think you'd be very under illuminated. 600hps watts would be about 200 par watts x 16 sg ft.

I use more than double that amount of light.

Lol. 12. I'm trying to make this hard.
u can do 8 plants with a 600 hps, just don't do any training on them at all only lst to keep them short, and make sure to measure your area under the lights u have a 4x4 foot print to work with, u can do 2 rows of 4 plants and rotate the plants daily in a 90 degree, and i will start flowering them like after a month of veg.

Yes it will work good. I used to run a 600w in a 5x2 space with great results. Just a basic batwing reflector and correct air flow.
