I 2nd the 600hps. Cheap, readily available, pull a pound per light no problem, I avg about 20 oz per 600 all diff strains. & if you buy a digital ballast that does mh & hps you'll be glad you did. Just make sure you can keep it cool in there.

Not to be the cheap guy lol. but you could get some cheap supplemental lighting to beef it up a bit , if your budget doesn't allow the cost of a 600w.

The question would be what size tent do you intend to buy when do you buy one? IMO a 1000w HPS is hella overkill for that area, and most tents.

Sorry to tell you but THAT led is not worth the money. I wouldn't use it, even if it was free

As was mentioned you could supplement it. Back in the day I bought cheap 3-4 bulb vanity fixtures from HD//Lowes < $20 and a few Cree NW bulbs + one warm white. In the mean time lower your light to ~ 18" above the canopy

Also, put your recirculating fan on a timer: 3-5 minutes on/20-30 minutes off. even 25 minutes can dry your leafs preventing them from staying moist inside
