im putting a dimmable 400w in a 3x3 tent
im doing a 3 x 3 tent right now with a 2 x 2 t5 pannel and 3 cfl bulbs and look what im getting, a 400 dimmable would be good in a 3 x 3 tent you culd save some money buying the 400w instead of the 600w and put it down on a better air cooled hood or a top of the line 400w bulb or some single tube t5s and stick them on the sides

Just a thought....if you have a choice and your heat control is up to par...i would run an open reflector.....with a glass(any clear material) cover you lose up to 10-15% light output, and cooling a HID bulb also decreases light output by up to 20% so your looking at 30-35% light decrease by using a cool tube......but if heat is the issue their is no other choice.....
be safe and happy growing.......

^^^^^yeah pretty much........i ran two 250w cmh in a 4x4 area(with dayton exhaust 350cfm) and summer runs where a battle........still the 600w can be dimmed and when you upgrade/enlarge the grow(we always do) you have more options with the 600w IMO.......to each their own..

its an earthworth 32 x 32 x 64 i got it on amazon but they are all gone now, people claimed it didnt fit 6" hosing but i otherwise found out it did on mine when i tried, but when buying tents there are cheap quality tents, you get what you pay for, i always go fro the zipper and not the velcro. mine is just as good as all the secret jarden tents for half the price, giv eme a tent size you want and i know some good spots you can get one either locally in 714 or online its all about how much money your willing to spend on a tent

Secret Jardin was definately my number 1 pick for a tent but now you say that yours is just as good for way cheaper. When I am looking to buy, I will hit you up on here and try and see what we can find.
Thanks bro.
If these tents are as cheap as you say, I might even go with the 4x4 tent.
More room, Fit a 600w in there. with room for a little dehumidifier/ac unit (if needed)
