CMH 315 or 600 in 3x3 tent

Going to be setting up a 3x3 tent. probably 4 plants.

Love the fact the CMH run much cooler would love to dial the inline fan down. Since I'm going to be sleeping right next to it. And the fact they are full spectrum.
Just concerned there won't be enough light to flower.

Will the 600 be overkill in a 3x3? If I get a 600 it will be dimmable. But then they will have shorter bulb life.

Any advice is appreciated

Almost went with led. But decided to let the price die down a little bit. May start collecting cob and components to make one within the year.

That's the one I was looking at the sunsystems L.E.C. That's the vertical hood right? Shit looks dope think I'd need supplemental lighting?

And 4200k would be better all round or go with the 3000k?

3100k on the left and 4200k on the right, both these are 120 volt which are actually more expensive than the 240 volt..

Dunno if I wanna drop on 2... But dam 2 of these would blow up a 3x3. Haha

Can only assume the 3100 had more red. 4200 more blue?

But both are full spectrum ya?

two wouldn't fit or isn't feasible anyway, one of these in a 3by3 though....
The one they call full spectrum would be the 4200k I believe. But not much difference,

Haha ya total noob here. Didn't even think about them actually fitting in the tent. Just Hella excited to get this going. I've been researching and reading about cultivation for a long time since I was young. Many outdoor plants found by parents, landlords, friends(ex friends).
