That tent isn't big enough to make good use of a 600W light. You're better off with a 400W. You could easily fit 5 or 6 plants in there. Tents don't control odor unless you have an active exhaust with a carbon scrubber. You'll need it for more than a few plants.

You can but I have a feeling your tent is going to have significant heat issues. A 600W bulb gets pretty hot. The other drawback for using your light is that you're using 50% more electricity than you need(a 400W light). Again, you can still grow some fat fucking nugs with your setup, just know what you're getting yourself into. You're really going to need a decent duct fan and an air-cooled reflector to keep temperatures under control, in my opinion.

Can't really say for sure. I might pay more per hour than you do(or vice-versa), but I figure my bill is around $50 higher as a result of my grow op. Cost really goes up when I have to use AC in the summer time.
