I'd just go with 600, doubt it'd make too much of a diff n 1000 would give off so much heat. I've got a 600 and it's a BITCH to cool!

Go with a 600w for that size of space unless you have a room that you can manage the climate of 1000w with ventilation and extraction set up.

Remember, "If you dont have the intensity, You'll never get the Density" My answer 1000 watter :)

Figure out a way to ventlate the room better, and go for the gusto!!!

You only live once brah... and you know you'll want that 1000 sooner or later,

Get it overwith!

Best of luck my friend :)

Buy a 1000w then. Simple as that.
More lights = more bud.

perfect size for a 1000 watt light, but if you don't already have a separate veg and flower room i would divide the space.

two 400 watt lights would give you just under 7,000 lumens per square foot - a very good amount of light.

Yes if you can buy 3 1000w lamps and control the environment/climate thats fine as i said before the more lights = more bud.

More light for more bud is true up too a point. A plant can only use so much light. A 600 would cover the 4x4 space nicely. A 1000 even better. In my opinion if your plan is to always grow in a 4x4 area, then the 600. What it would cost to run and cool a 1000 vs the additional yield in that size space, not worth it.
