Hello all!

Iv been lurking here for a little while trying to get as much knowledge as I can, but as I'm sure you all know. You never stop learning when your growing! Anyways, I have a 4x8 x6.6 foot tent, upstairs in a house, I have a total of 10 seeds that are just about to sprout and soon a handful of clones. Jumping straight to the point though, i still can't decide on weather I should grab 2 600w hid or 1000w, I know it's small for 1000 and burning might be an issue, but the whole gpw has got me eager for the investment! I know they can be vented hoods and I live up in canada so it's pretty cold here. But I'm really stuck on this lighting part, currently under a 6bank of t5s.... iv got plenty more questions for this awesome community but let's start here! Can't wait to hear what advice you guys have for me, thanks and Cheers :)

Ps sorry if I didn't include enough, I thought I was rambling already haha

1 ten that's 4x8 but you could treat each 4x4 as it's own, that's what I was thinking with the 600s but you've got the experience so if you would just 1 1000w then I'll take your advice :)

Far from experienced in a tent. I’ve always grown in rooms. Look around some more see what Farmers with tents have been doing with your size tent.

2x600s light coverage would be way better imo.

2x600w will work better then 1x1000w. In that size tent but in a 4x8 running 10 plants id probably run 2x1000w dimmable.

I really appreciate your input man! I was about to go with 2 600s but the cost was only 70$ more for 1000s so I went with that. Thanks again for your help around here
