Is this light sufficient for a 6x6?

Jeebus.
Thats more than double what I pay which is .11 cents per kw/hr.
But even at double plus that shouldn't be more than $50 a month

What footprint would you recommend I fill with plants with this single light in square feet?

Can you? Sure, but the further out you get from under the light the smaller and more airy the buds will be.

I find it odd the literature for whatever light you have says it can flower a 7x7.
Is this like a really big light, like 4x4 in size?

I think they may be referring to the low light needy types of crops at 7x7. Like lettuce and herbs . Making the light look more powerful than what it is . They should state that is recommended for 7x7 for herbs and lettuce rather than just say it covers 7x7 without any recommendations to what types of crops

So a 35" x 18" light that puts out 600w should probably flower a 3' x 4'

My two lights I custom built to fit my 2x5 space.
They are 325w each and I rarely if ever turn them up full blast.
But they completely cover the 2x5 wall to wall and give very even coverage for the whole space.

Wow nice setup , wish I knew how to build lights. Is it cheaper to build them yourself? And how many autos would you you think I could grow in a 4x3 grow if going for a sea of green using roughly 8Litre pots ?

Thanks bro I thought I would go slightly overkill on the wattage so that I can fill my tent from wall to wall in smaller pots and do a sog and strive for more large colas rather than bigger plants with one cola and heaps of small buds .
Growing autos also

I like to do the same thing and utilize every corner of my tent. I use a 320 watt light and a 105watt light for my 3x3x6 tent.

Its a little cheaper, but the best thing is you can build them to fit so you get very even coverage.
Id use 12lr FABRIC pots and probably about 6 plants.
