so you have the tent already?
if so, a 1K would cover a 4x4 area of it nicely. then ou have plenty room to move around.

Best you could do if you were hung up on 2000w is:
4 xxxl type hoods and 2 ballasts on splitters out to 600w each hood.
Sheet load of LED's.

i thought you were wanting to buy the 10x10.
an even better question is how do you plan to cool it? that tent is gonna be scorching hot. you'll need A/C for sure

i would use it as a constant flower tent. have 2 or 3 areas. buy another much smaller tent to start seeds/clones and then when they get big enough, move them to the big tent. keep a constant harvest for a year and you'll have pounds of weed lying around

Like I said first time why the hell are you trying to run without learning to walk? For christs sake get a small grow tent and a small light and learn what the heck your doing before even thinking about 10×10. Learning first will save you tons of time and money.

I would block off 10ft x 5ft and use both lights. Or block off 5x5 and use a single light. How and what are you using for exhaust and cooling? Are your lights cool hoods or just open lights?
Have you thought about electricity? Its gonna take a lot of power to run all the lights, fans and ac without burning your house down. I'd follow lio's advice and start small. It's a lot to learn and chances of turning a profit from your first few grows are slim.These threads pop up often but nothing ever comes from them. It's not any different than any other profession really. You can't expect to open an auto repair shop if you've never popped the hood of a car. If you put the cart before the horse it could be expensive.good luck

Dude, you're still hung up on the number of plants.
Number of plants is irrelevant.
It's number of colas under wattage of light.
You already bought the 10x10??
That's okay you don't have to fill it. You can have room to move around.
You are limited to 6 plants. Buy 2 600 watt lights. You're going to need your money for air. Air conditioning and air exchange and air cleaning.
You have 3 plants under each light. I know you are caught up on number of plants but you will eventually realize that is the wrong line of thinking. Anyway. Each light has three plants and you scrog those three plants into a 4x4 net. Very cheap to set up. You do that and you will have two 4x4 scrogs going and you will get close to 2 lbs.
You will be fighting heat though. If you do 2 1000s it will be even worse.
Keep it simple or else you are going to fuck up and waste your money. Get a grow or two under your belt and then you can add more light and more cooling.
