Using a grow tent

[k5kolodzi]

This is new territory for me. Moving my girls into a tent for a grow and i have questions. But first im gonna list what i have:

- 4 1000 watt ballasts
- 4 hydrasun vented hoods with Hortilux Super HPS
- 10x5x7 grow tent


So here are my questions. Should i rock (3) 1000 watters evenly spaced in a row? (not concerned about heat)

Maybe use splitters? That way its only 2 ballasts and 4 hoods rockin 500 watts each for a total of 2k watts?
Some say a 1000 watt with a good bulb will do a 5x5 area easily, but i have always kept it to 4x4. Then again a tent is one big ass piece of mylar and would make up for that....and in this case i would only need 2 hoods.

I know tent ceilings are week, i will compensate for the weight. I will most likely be building a PVC frame to hold the lights in the tent. I cant have lights falling on my lovely girls

Thanks in advance!

10ft long? by 5ft wide? by 7ft high?
you could do it either way especially if no concern for heat
hell why not go with 3k instead of 2k watts
