Well for one thing it isn't really 1200 watts. Probably more like 120. You need way more light. If that's your budget, forget LED, and get HID. Maybe a 1000w DE HPS. I don't use HPS, so @Renfro is the one I'd ask.

Can you give me a idea of what I would led I would need for a 2mx2m grow tent and would I just need one or 2 and what kind would be good to get

You'd need a grand or more for quality LED for a 6x6 space, unless you build your own, but even then it's not cheap.

Probably the 1000 watt DE, but I'm not sure, that's why I called on Ren.

To cover a 6x6 using 1 or two lights is going to make for weak lighting around the edges and strong lighting in the center of the light/s. Like a DE HPS might do a 5x5 or 4x6 area depending on the reflector used.
A 6x6 is an odd size. A 4x8 would be great for two SE 1000w HPS lights, each with a 4x4 area to cover.
