400w is best over a 3x3 area, 600w is the ideal for a 4x4. (If you can manage the heat.)

ha its all good mayne, im sittin here blitzed

but as for goin with a 600, will that consume more electricity than a 400? i live in an apartment(college kid), so im mainly concerened about going over, what do you guys think?

for the price go for the 600, but again consumtion of light & temp control are vital
