Thats good to hear thanks! Currently have two 4k cool white set ups, 110watts between the two. Got them at homedepot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-2-ft-4-Light-White-Integrated-Utility-LED-Motion-Control-Garage-Light-SHOP2X4840MOTHD/306224338

Actually trying to decide what lights to get for flowering. Still undecided between LED or HPS

6400K would be better for veg, anyway you already got those. whats the distance you have the lights from the tops? maybe you are a bit optimistic to put 8 plants with just those lights

This will greatly depend on budget. I run open bulb 1k HPS in my 5x5 tent.

Sure am! They are 22 inches from the top lol

I think i feel comfortable at around $300 - $500 range. Too much heat is my main concern now with summer approaching.

22??? are you mad, i keep mine at 1.5-2 inches(40-50mm) i always have a 12" fan blowing on the plants constantly.
