Suggestions for tent size and lighting? I want to start growing already!!

What size tent and lights should I get?

Been researching for weeks, cant make a decision. Looking for suggestions.
What i want to grow is 6 plants - autoflowers

I wanted a 4 ft (w) by 6 ft (L) tent no one makes them. Was gonna put two 600 watt hps in it..

So im now debating whether i should get a 4 (w) ft by 8ft (L) tent and possibly block off a portion put some relfective material on the false wall.

This will give me the ability to grow in case my plants get bushy.
Or should i get a 4 by 4 tent, and just deal with it being crowded.

If I get the 4 by 8 i was thinking of doing, two 600 w hps
If I get the 4 by 4 tent i was thinking of getting a 1k watt light with veg and flower bulbs..i was gonna do cool tubes to keep the heat down.


Any pros and cons of the two setups?

ANY advice or pictures of your tent would be VERY much appreciated. I just want to to start growing already..But i want to do it right the first time.

4x4 tent with 1000 watt hortilux. 8 plants in 5 gallons but it's too many, next run will be 6 vegged shorter. I would suggest s 4x4 with a 600 HPS as it would be easier to cool. 1k would be overkill with autos. Or 400-600 watts of cobs if you can afford it. Also I would do photos unless you absolutely can't for some reason.
