Delahaze from paradise seeds. I appreciate it very much. I just get a kick out the hid led talk. I just could never afford one at this point. Just don't have 1,500 bucks or even 500 to throw at a light. I mean I already am running a Apollo hid. Not top shelf equipment but have gotten decent results. I'm really new to this my 2nd grow. First photo plant. Hid all the way hahahaha

HID is fine.. Led is a costly adventure. Apollo makes some good shit for a cheap price.. I had a 600watt ballast from them I used for a couple years.. No issues with it. Only reason I don't use it now is I upgraded my ballasts to lumatek

ok everyone so what should I do? Go with a scrog grow or just go with a normal plant grow. So the scrog grow. I would go with 2 plants in a 48x24x60 tent with a 4ft x 8bulb T5. The normal grow I would go with 4 plants in a 32x32x60 tent with a 400w hps light. The plants would be in 3 gallon pots with soil.

400 but I'd keep the plants tied down so you got some nice bushes.. If the question is a 400 or a t5.. The answer is obvious

How hard would it be to scrog 4 plants in that size tent? How long would someone have to veg for before going 12/12?

However long it takes to fill the net lol.. I'm guessing about 6 weeks with 4 to have a a solid weave.. I had almost the same size tent with a 400.. I got pics but on another site.. Send me a private message and I'll link you to it.. I ran 7 plants at once.. It was a jungle of awesomeness

If you use a cool tube and a good inline fan you could use a 600 for flower. That's what I use in a 3x3 and it is doing great. Heat being your only concern, I believe with a decent fan in such a small area you would be exchanging air at a rate that would not allow tent to overheat. My 2€

I also think 4 plants is way to many. I suggest just one plant. Over crowding would inhibit air flow and in the long run would be detrimental to your yield. I made this mistake in my first grow. In a 4x4 tent I had 3 plants and yielded 8oz, now I only grow one big one and harvest over a pound. DWC buckets.
