Shit dude you need over 1000 watts of hps. If you go the led route be prepared to spend like $1000

Another option is to reduce the plant count and concentrate on lighting one section of the tent for your first couple of runs. You could blow up four plants in a 4x4 section with an HLG 550 (or other qb or cob) and have some room to move around in the tent. Or go with HID lighting for a portion of your tent for now. You'll probably need AC if you go with HID so consider that in the plans.

You should go to the Chinese knockoff thread... Or go to Amazon or HLG and buy some 4 packs of qb120s or QB 132s, a few drivers and diy... Or just go to Alibaba and see if something catches your eye!!!

Hps is going to yield more, but if you are determined on LED, check out the Mars SP250 on Amazon. With its shape, you might be able to get the spread you require with only 2 of them (3 would be ideal).

How is it that you have all this stuff ... 6x6 tent .. ect all this stuff and you want to buy the cheapest shittiest lights from amazon ? If you want cheap, go HPS ... if you want to grow good year round and not worry about temps during the summer ... go with a HLG board .. Get a hlg600 from growerslights and stick it in the middle .. it will outperform the 4 ones you listed. And even then some.

I'm just topped off right now with my budget I'm going to have to concentrate on a few smaller grows till I can save up some money for that 700 plus dollar light

Ya after the tent, lighting should have been next on the priority list. Way before worrying about CO2 or controllers or flood tables, anything really ....unless all that other stuff was gotten for real real cheap, like too good a deal to pass up or free.
You can have all the best of everything( nutes and fans and controllers) , the ganja quality and yield will still depend on what kinda sun your runnin

If you're going to start small, you may want to grab an HLG kit (or similar) that you can add on to later. The HLG 260W QB V1 LED Kit should flower a 3x3 nicely for $279 usd. For $50 more you can get the v2. Add 3 more lights when you can and you'll have your 6x6 covered. You will save $$ and frustration by starting with good lights.
