I have a 3' x 3' under a 600 watt right now. You are on the right track. Just watch and make sure your fan is pulling enough. I am running a 6" inline axial that is rated at 480 cfm, but with tubing and the light in the way it pulls less.

Give it a go, but be on the watch out for heat. I can touch the top of my fixture all day long, but it still kicks some heat out the front .

Stick with the 600 watt... It will give you the best results with the least heat, and you can always add a second one later if you want to upsize.

I found an inline fan 530 cfm for 70 bucks+shipping on ebay. Im getting the 600 from htg. And white rino seeds from marijuanaseeds.nl..

I have a 4x4 tent, and for the first grow ill use a 600 watt mh/hps all the way through. Will this be the best way to go?

Im planning this 'small grow' because im on a budget.. After harvest I plan to get a 5x5 tent, another 600 watt, and another fan.. But thats in the future, right now all I have to work with is the 600. Fan ok? Seeds?

Any other opinions?

Oh does anyone know where I can get some cheap containers from for soil grow.. Any specialty for germination?(Im going to get some party cups and germ in those with ffhp soil.)
