Will a 4x4 tent be too big?

I recently bought two LED light bars from Hortibloom in they are the Luma series w/ citizen 1212's 3000k @ 240 watts. i was wondering if i could flower in a 4x4 tent with those two lights? not sure if they would be adequate enough to cover that area. i haven't bought a tent yet so just hoping for some opinions. thanks!

Just use the space in the tent that those lights will cover. I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 4 x 4 if you have the room. It's easier to hang more light than tear down too small of a tent and setup a bigger one in the future if you realize you need more room for plants.

I veg in a 2x2 (9-10 plants of various strains)with a couple led and then flower 2,sometimes 4 plants in a 4x4 with a 400w hps2 is perfect if you have your plants trained. Trying to do 4 is a nightmare with room. I stagger them 4 weeks apart in my flower tent. So i can have buds every 4 weeks. I used to use led for flower but have gone back to the trusty hps. Felt like i could grow better stuff with the hps, even though the led wasnt that bad. Could all be strain related but i jave run a dozen strains under the led and only 1 under the hps.

Maybe one day down the road I could do a perpetual grow like you... Sounds like you got it dialed though!

If you decide to upgrade ur lights at a later date then those will be great in a smaller veg tent.

For me a 4*4 area I would keep my 1600watt pro ii epistar in use, a tent is not a must if your room with good reflective paper.
