So I have a 4 foot 11 in by 2 foot 7 growlab tent and a 4 by 4. I have A 600 hps and t5 but I think I need another 600 for the other tent.
Will this light get too hot with no inline? Apparently this ballast is cheap? But a good deal of good reviews. Two 600 water = good yield I’m guessing, what could you get with two 600 waters? I’m guessing I could get 20 to 50 percent less than you because I’m bed to this. I want two plants per tent.

If your concerned with heat.. you should get a hood that can be connected via an inline fan. Otherwise your certain to run into heat issues in a 4x4 area under 2x 600w lights that arent cooled

I have a 150w HPS in a 3x2 tent, and temps can get up to the high 80s on a hot day. And thats WITH inline cooling attached to the hood. Of course, the ballast is built into the light, which im sure doesnt help... but theres a point of reference for ya.

Im sure somebody with a very similar setup will be able to tell you better from their experience, but in mine, HID lighting needs cooling in a confined space if you want temps at optimum ranges

For a small tent like that if you want more light, go with a 1000w and air cool it.
I use 2 1000w in my 6x6x6 tent, air cooled.
