Ok so I have a 4x2 tent thats only about 5 ft tall. My current setup is a 600 watt hps in a water cooled hood delsol and a ¼ hp water chiller. I was living at a apt where the electricity bill was included in the rent so I was golden im now moving into a apt where I have to pay my own electricity bill so should I keep this set up the way it is and hope not to receive a huge bill or my other thought was for me to get two 300 watt cfls for the top and some t5s to go down the 4 sides of the tent this way I wont need the ¼ chiller and just some good air venting. Ive only grown with hps so idk how good cfls + t5s would do but if I have 2 cfls and lets say 4 4ft t5 strips with two t5 bulbs in each one would be good enough for veg and flower.

I would stick with the 600w as you will have a better yield. I have no idea what your electricity bill will be, but mine went through the roof this summer running my grow and running the A/C 24/7.
