What kind of light is the 900 Watt light?
If it is truly a 900W light, that should be well sufficient for a 2x4x5 flower tent
If it is a blurple light that realistically puts out 190W of light, then I would suggest putting that in the veg tent and getting a 600W HID if high temps wont be an issue. Lots of variables here.

In a 2x2x4, a (4) bulb fluorescent T5 would do the trick for vegging, mommas and clones. Those come in 2' lights and are usually about 100W.

Its hidden in the desrciption of the light on Amazon. I just looked at a 600 watt ohilzon and it was 100 actual watts. So most likely your 900 is actually 150 watt light.

Look it up again it says 176 watt actual power plus or minus 3% I only got it because of the good reviews

I couldnt find the exact model. I was going by the 600 watt model.

Its still a cheap chinese light. Two of those would work in a 2x4. One would do ok in a 2x2.

If going led cob or QB are the best. Look for name brands like cree, citizen, Samsung etc.
