Starting my first grow 1200w grow tent

G'day guys guess you could say im a newbie but i know a thing or two about growing, i've just ordered a 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m grow tent, 2 600w hps aluminium lighting kit with 2 600w mh conversion bulbs along with a 10pot autopot system. Ill be growing a mish mash autoflower strain for my first grow to get the hang of it, ive hears that running 1200w in a grow room that size is overkill but considering i live in a very cool climate and i will be running a pretty good ventilation system it should be fine?? also ill be geting some sort of co2 boost. any advise would be greatly appreciated :)
toke toke toke ;)

I am no pro but i would just wait till the seedlings are a bit bigger to turn on the second light as its not really needed so early in the game.

the more leaf nodes the more light the plant can process into food, with only 1-2 leaf nodes they will process just as much with one light as they will with both and you will save some $$ on electric costs for a bit anyways :)
 
That makes sense ill just use the one 600w for the first few weeks until they can handle it and i can't complain about some savings haha my babys come first tho ;) cheers for your help mate
