No, sorry. Knowing the power companies, and how greedy they are though, I wouldn't bet against it.do you know if there is a maximum ? does it go beyond the 4x ?

how much space do you have and what size pots?
2x2? ok just use the 400 4 sure than.
can you set up sum sort of automated irrigation ?... if so u can use really small pots or rockwool cubes. like 4-6 inch pots/cubes.
or do u plan on hand watering? if so u will need a little bigger pots and may want to use soil if you cant water often.
give them little or no spacing depending on ur pot size and flip to 12/12 around 6 inches.
6x6, yaaa!
get the 1000 watt hps with the xxxxL reflector hood is what i would do... if you did that than you would be making pretty good use of your space and your yield would probably be twice as much as with a 400.
you could do just what you explained under a 400 or 1000. go hydro if you have the experience.
in a 6x6 i would expect to pull:
under a 400... depending on what strain and ur skills/nutes... 1+ oz. per plant in the center 3x3 and dwindling down to a half oz. per plant at the outer edges.
under a 1000... same deal... 1+ oz. per plant wall to wall. or at least for 5x5 of it
16 for 2gal. or bigger
25 for 1gal. or smaller... which will probably need to be watered at least once a day.
i personally shoot for 3/4 of a pound to a 1 pound per square meter of grow space depending on strain.
i also keep my plants under 3 feet fyi
also keep my plants under 3 feet fyi
okay well is there a reason why only 25?
bcuz if u have a solid 6x6 grow area with no other junk in the way, thats 36 sq. ft.
i would do at least a plant per sq. ft. in one gallon pots (2 gal. spaced 1 per sq. ft. would be a lil better imo)
i would also suggest a soilless medium like readygro or something like that and to water/feed everyday if possible, but thats just my style. everyone grows different.
i use plain coco personally. but i suggested readygro or likewise cuz i believe u can use a wider range of nutrients with it and its probably a bit less complicated and expencive nute wise.
for sativa flip'em over to 12/12 around 5-8 inches
indicas prolly 6-10
thats to keep them small like you want and just a rough guideline, it really depends on your strain.
For a 6x6 space, go for 1000 watt's. Best light penetration and yield.
