I want to hear from you guys running this setup. This is what I'm looking at, I don't have enough room for a 4x4, anyone on here running a 600 in a 3x3 tent?

I use a 600w in a 3x3. I love the results that I get.
I do not agree that you are wasting your time at all. I veg some mammoth plants in there.
My plants love the 600w.

Be sure you get a good inline fan if you go 600. They put out a bit of heat.

I use 3x3 4x4 and 4x8 and 10x20 tents. A 600 watt digital is fine ina 3x3. I pop a 3x3 flood table in toss 10 plants in veg for 2-3 weeks flower for -7 or 8 no issues. I use a small fan to put air out or bring in. Most important is a circulating fan or 2 to get air moving

That's the info I was after too!! Apparently I should be fine with a good fan for exhaust pulling air out..

So 12-12 from seed in a 3x3 tent, using 1.5-2gal pots..how many 2gal pots will fit in 3x3? Even if I went 400w HPS in the 3x3, I should still be able to hit 8-10oz doing 12-12 from seed?

600w is hot in a 3x3, but with an air cooled hood temps are easy kept to a minimal. I have no problem cooling mine.
I use 5 gallon, to put through flower, 4 is pushing it ... imho
