would you consider 2-600s in a 4x4?
from the looks of yours, one is enough.

1200 watts would be impossible for me to cool.

I top for 6-8 main colas and I remove most branches past 24 inches into the canopy. I remove branches past 18 inches that look really flimsy or stretched too.

I try to keep the middle of the plant open to light. I also have been trying to create a bowl shape in my tent. Taller branches on the outside of the tent and shorter branches directly under the light.

I flip at 18 inches usually. Then if the plant stretches 3x it is still only 4.5 feet tall.

I have been keeping my light further away then in the past. I used to keep em at 12 inches or so. Now it is 18-24 inches away. 6 inches makes a big difference on heat induced stretching.

I use stakes to pull the colas apart as they stretch so light penetrates deep into the canopy. Left alone, the branches will all lean towards the light and crowd each other which reduces the amount of leaf surface area receiving direct light.

Just some stuff I learned past two grows.

this is my first cycle with the tent, a full from veg to harvest.
my main theory with 2, it might be overkill, more light is always good, but with $$ being a factor as well, there has to be a break even point. But then you get back to more light is always good and i can remove the heat no problems and the $$ my wife deals with, so keep on keeping on with 2 :-)

So the de bulbs are worth it? I want to make the switch from 1000s to de 6s. 1800 watts is allot cheaper than 3000w for similar or better results.

This setup is definitely better than reg 1000 watt hps,not sure if all DE setups are equally made..

Oh I am sure there will be something I like, just need to move by summer so I can finally get to all these stinky ass strains I have collected. So many seeds and it is killing me to not be popping them. Country home would be nice but I will just settle for a place with new windows so I don't have smell constantly leaking out of my house. As it is right now I can't get negative pressure because there are just too many leaks.... need to stop renting and by my own place already.
sorry rant over.
Looking great in there gen
