Thats pushing it a bit for that size light and footprint. I think 2 of that size would be about right in a 4x4 area, but should still do well in the main footprint of the light. Glad to see you decided to get the GrowBlu, it seems like the best of the Apollo imports

So are LEDs all about coverage? Because if you think about it they don't actually have a higher wattage, they have higher watts because they literally have more lights? all the models are the same thing. just larger. yeah I would like to eventually get another one. the site said it covered a 2x4 area so for my budget that's what I grabbed. I went all out and didn't spare many expenses with my setup so when it came time I grabbed the 700$ light
also my friend who has a lot of experience and owns a grow supply store said i shouldnt have bought the blu. and recommended a 315watt MH sun system instead (mainly because I dont want to cool my light). thoughts?
Grow stores don't know a damn thing about LED's, they will always tell you to buy a bulb setup. Its guaranteed to get you to come back. Every hydro store I've seen with an LED have all had a generic Chinese high-watt special.
Your light will do fine, I actually thought you got a smaller 120 for some reason. The footprint says 2'x4' for your primary grow area. Outside of that area the buds will not be as dense but still bud. The footprint on each light is what makes it difficult to decide which light works for you. The 180 is set up for your 4' wide area which makes it a good fixture to work with.
The better lights are designed for penetration instead of coverage area. Most of the better lights have individual reflectors to focus the light straight down, either 60 or 90 degrees to give you a few feet of penetrating power. Other fixtures have a higher coverage area but the penetration is not there.
