If it was me, and I was using what I had, I would either go with the 1000watter, or if the extraction can cope, id use 2 x 600s., the temps may get high tho if they are not air cooled, and I reckon you would need at least a 8 inch extraction.
Hey man, thanks for the reply. I have an 8 in extraction fan and an inline carbon filter that goes outside of the tent, so heat wouldn't be an issue

What grow style is he using to justify 2000 Watts? Must be wall-to-wall with plants in there

its a flood and drain hydro system hes got, using 8 pots.
his ballasts are dimmable so its normally 1200w veg 2k bloom, and it does very well.
no point having a tent if you don't intend filling it eh?
