Looking on advice on tent setup

[Blinko]

Hi Guys,

Currently just turned my first grow for many years.
1.2mx1.2m tall tent.

I started off with only 1 plant in a large drainage pot and added 2 more a couple weeks before I turned them to make sure I fill some empty space.

I ran a 400w MH most of veg and have added a 400w HPS 2 weeks ago. I have the ability to increase the 400w HPS to 600w. For the rest of this flower..
1. Would you just leave the 400w 400w combo?
2. Just run the 600w hps alone to save some power

Next grow, coming into summer its going to get HOT. Would you recommend spending the money for a 315w or 630w cmh? Or just run the 400w mh for veg and combo again as I did.
Looking for temp and run cost benefits.

Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

600 hps as long as you have a fresh 600 watt hps bulb

Find some gd leds. Heat and cost will go down.

I'd get the 630w CMH and dim it in veg.

They actually are much cheaper in the long run. U only need one for veg and bloom. Your 4x4 needs 500 watt led. U will save on electric bill also. U can find some inexpensive ones that's just gd as name brands. Check budget deal thread on here. Just forward to the current post.
