New Grower Can I get a pound with this setup?

Yea they do it to sell it. It is 1200 if it was ran at full potential but they cut it back to reduce heat and lifespan. So its sold as 1200 because it is but is set to only draw around 220 true watts

Yep, lights matter a lot. You will also be unlikely to maintain an Optimum environment with your extraction/ intake system. It's always better to be oversized and able to run at a low idle if temperatures get cool.

Why do you think my extraction intake will not be good enough ? 4 inch not big enough?

I pulled nearly a 1\2 pound off a Dinafem Cheese Auto recently with a MarsHydro 400, (less than 200 watts actual draw). The buds were really fluffy, but good smoke!

Nice how many days did it take to finish?

Perhaps, consider one or more inherently more efficient (less heat per amount of light) light fixtures. COBs, such as AutoCOBs, could be the best option for adding light. Otherwise, 2 x "1200" watt fixtures are collectively going to put out perhaps half or more of their wattage/power consumption as heat, could be ≥1200 watts total, similar to running a space heater at near full power. And 2 x 1200 watt LEDs in 1 sq. yard could also be very crowded, presuming they even fit in the tent.

A pound of what? Marketable nug? Probably not... if your on your game 2 grams per watt @ the wall is banging... not talking fluff or nurfle here, that's for the wash or giving away... but marketable, good nug.

Running marginal light you can grow just what fits directly under the light and get mostly great stuff or fill your space... girls around the edge will be fluffier...etc... but the outside edges make some fine hash... its not a loss, just change up your game.

Again mate, that is pure marketing BS. It's 220w, end of. The rest is marketing nonsense.

I'm sure it's a very decent light, but anyone who names a light in that way is on the wrong path in my opinion.

I might just throw my mars 300 w in there with it. That adds I think about another 110 true watts if im not mistaken.

2 would fit. It's actually not that big of a fixture. But I think I will just add my mars 300 in there with it.

Heres some pics.
The big plant is a random bagseed that's at day 45 in veg. Topped and lst a little. Going to flower her separately next week.

Yes it's only 220-280 actual watts.
I do think I will need another light I'm going to order 1 more of the same one. That will give me roughly 500 watts true watts.

Also why do you think my exhaust will not be sufficient ?

I think a 4in is a minimum especially when you're pushing through your filter you have less surface area when you push. But you should never buy the minimum, you should oversize, I would go with 6 in. That way you could use a fan controller that had high speed idle, low speed idle, and shut off depending upon what your temperatures are. It makes it a lot easier to control your environment when you can determine how fast you want your fan to run at low speed or at high speed.

I found less swings in temperatures and keeping your humidity in good control are critical to getting high yields.
