it would be great to have a 400watt hid in there with a light mover..
you should try to get about1 1/2 gallon [6--8 litre] pots. [ if you got good conditions]
idealy you should put only one per pot

can't do that much or I'll blow a fuse unless the thing (sorry never realy looked into a grow light) uses only 125v but the thing puts out more then that and doesn't exceed the 200w then I'll be find but if that bulb actuly uses 400w there's a good chance it could blow the fuse apart

Dude, you don't hae a clue what you are doing. You have roughly 12sq. ft. of space. At four plants per sq ft thats 48 plants, that would require proper lighting ,ventilation,etc. If the haven't germinated yet get at least 1/2 of those seeds back out of the water. As it stands right now, ou are giving Canada a bad name. VV

its already in the water they have already started to crack but I do have more space to put them with enough lighing so I'm not to woried about that and besides I won't be keeping all the males so if the math is right out of 10 expect only 8 to live out of 8 expect half to be males out of 4 expect 2 or 3 to be the best females out of 10 seeds

I did some math I wouldn't be surprised if I'm out but if my closet is 2 feet deep and 7 feet high and 6 feet wide then that's about 14 square feet per 1 foot wide so 14 square feet x 6 would give me about 84 square feet but I don't know how good that math is so please correct me if I'm wrong

plants from seed gets big till its time to flower them! u can fit 4 ! clones ! in one sq/feet. if u try that with plants grown from seeds u'll deff have no space man. plants need to reach adequate age till they are ready for the flowering cycle!! it's called maturation!

even if I do 4 plants per quare feet then I would have 336 plants in my closet but minus a couple feet for lights and if I build my closet right I can have more room then just using a level ground for plants and I was planing on using the hight that I can have so even if I split my closet in half I can get 96 plants doing a 2 level flat grow space

SQUARE FEET AND CUBIC FEET ARE NOT THE SAME THING SPORT, THE HEIGHT OF THE SPACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF FLOOR SPACE. Have you seen dumb and dumber?? :mrgreen:
All of us are really trying to help you, that doesn't seem possible. I guess if you want our opinion you will give it to us??:blsmoke: VV

square feet == 6 x 2 = 12 square feet
cubic feet == 6 x 2 x 7 = 84 cubic feet

rough approximations however..
seedlings 500 lumens per sq ft
veg 2500 lumens per sq ft
flower 10,000 lumens per sq ft

in flower for your 6x2 area you will want about 120,000 lumens - you could get away with 600w hps on a light mover

you might be best to divide the space up into clone, moms and flower areas but youll still have a power issue it sounds like.

i have seen some 400 watt solar panels on ebay. $$.. but 2 of those running 2 400watt hps would solve your problem
