i'd say you'd want a 600 per table for best results

okay not to argue but i thougt that a 600 would light a 4x4 area well according to the grow bible so 2 would give me a range of 8x8 but im only using actually a 6x6 "3x3=9 ft 600 watts/ 9=66 watts per ft and ideal is 50 watts per foot" just looking for info thats all thanks again

2 gives you 4x8 not 8x8

Its tricky arranging 4 tables under 2 lights, your going to have corners or ends with limited coverage. Give it a shot, if your not happy add another light or two.

yea im guess that there are gonna be one table that wont get the best of lighting that may actually work out in my favor a little as the first 2 weeks of flowering they arent really using as much light as they would be if they were further along thinking it may rather be better to line all the tables up in a row instead of a square type of setting that way the two lights can be over tables 2-3 i can however add an addition 600 but thats tops
