Heat builds up fast in small areas. So you need a 6" fan to move that air and heat. A larger area a 4" might work.

[Warlock1369]

A light mover in that space and a 600 would be pointless. A 600 covers a 4x4 area.

And most company's lie about the cfm of there fans.

Your area is only 44 cubic feet. So any fan 4" and up will move more than enough air. Even if the company lies about their total CFM, A 170 CFM fan should be able to do at LEAST 44 CFM I imagine. Changing the air once per minute is more than enough.

If you have the mover and no other use for it...although it's not completely necessary like Warlock mentioned, I'd say fuck it and use it if you have it anyway. You will still get a more even coverage by using it rather than not.

Should be good to go in my opinion.

Why are noobs giving this advice? It's a waste of time and money to ad a rail only moving 1 foot. I've been there done that. Don't believe me try it. Just don't ask for help when it's a mess.

Clearing a room Of cfm and cooling lights are different. A real grower knows this. Step off son your giving bad info.

sorry guys didnt mean to start somthin, just wondering if i should use my digi 400w instead because of the heat issues that will happen with the 600w

I run a 600w HID in a 2x4x5 tent and use a air-cooled hood with a 6" 400 CFM inline fan.
