Hey thanks buddy. Bubba kush is bomb some of my fav stuff. Depends on size of your closet as well as adequate lighting and venting. Id us 6x 23watts (not equivalent watt)cfls for each plant. So a total of 12 cfls. I only say that many cuz its better to have as much light as possible in flower. id get 8x 2700k soft white bulbs and 4x 6500k bulbs for more of a fuller spectrum. It would be 276 actual watts.
Dont know what your budget is but ive done a cpl diy led lights i made for less than 100$

The numbers with the "k" are color temperature. Veg wana tend to more blue hue bulbs 6500k. Flower want a bulb with more red hue 2700k. Can use seperate times but could run from seed to harvest with both

Since you r in flowering and ik sum bulbs r limited but if u were to get many bulbs id go only from 2700k to 3500k bulbs. No less than 23w each. I bought my bulbs on amazon 4x 65w bulbs 6500k for veg for 30 bucks. Just make sure to have atleast 100 actual watts per plant
