I have experience with uv spectra i ran a 10k metal halide from solis tek from veg too flower along time ago which produced uvc uvb and uva right? 30% of this lights total spectral energy lies within the UV spectra.
My end quality hit like a truck! But the tops were kinda dried out before i chopped them and the smell was completely gone! So i wrecked my end quality by too much UV aka i sun burnt my plants lol.
Some people say use it once a hour every 15min.
But i
would run UV spectra for 8 hours on in my flowering room(i got this tip from california lightworks).
And make sure not too over do it with UV there is such thing as too much UV i have experienced it.

Also for a 4 x 4 you need like 90 watts of solarcure uv lighting so instead of buying 1 4 ft fixture that is like 40ish watts id buy 4 2 ft fixtures that are 20ish watts each.
Also holy macroles they sell for 150 each? Including fixture / bulb? Thats expensive im positive agromax pure uv is cheaper but solarcures spectrum looks over powered!

"depending on your location on the globe, the season of the year, and the time of the day UV-B levels can be upwards of 400 µW/cm²."
With this being said 1 solarcure 4 ft uv fixture / bulb will only cover around 8sq ft of space(your tent is 16sq ft) if hung 2 ft above plants.
So 4 2ft fixtures / bulbs will perfectly cover the entire 4 x 4

I use my ts1000 for veg, no complaints if anything I have to dim it because its so dang bright
