Welcome to the forums!

2 x 300w lights (actual draw) in a 4x4 tent is less than 40w/sqft, I'd want over 50w/sqft if you want to grow top-shelf-cannabis. If you don't use all of the tent or if you don't mind less than top-shelf then give it a try but keep the plants very short because 3w diodes don't penetrate well.

Those "spiders" are nothing more than soaker hose and .25" hose barbs. I've built something similar to those for DWC, give them a shot since you have them but, in the future, build your own for God's sake. ;)

That'll help, just keep an eye on the basics: temp(s), humidity, pH, ventilation/circulation, etc... ;)
