Lighting Confirguration help...

My first thread! Anyway, I have finally moved from a ghetto grow box in the garage to a closet in the house! The closet is 2ft wide, 3.5ft deep and really high...The rods to hang the lights are about 5ft high, but I plan on going no more than 2.5-3ft max. I have a PG180 LED that is 16in long x 8.5 in wide, 4 2ft T5 Sunblaze that is 23.5in x 12.5 in, and a Sun System 150hps that is 16in x 7.5 in.

Question 1. What is the best way to arrange the lights to maximize the coverage? The Sunblaze looks like it will fit tightly across the closet, but I didn't want to force it.

Question 2. How many plants can I realistically put in the area. I have a flood and drain that can be easily expanded. I was thinking about going 12/12 from seed...or SOG, or SCROG or...

Any help/advice would be much appreciated!

You are all over the map. SOG or SGROG would determine the amount of plants you can have in that space. A lot of new guys want to know how many plants but they don't tell what style of growing. In my opinion you have too much light. Are you using some of that for veg? You put all of that in a closet that size and you'll probably have heat issues that need to be dealt with.

You need to read up on some of the techniques and stickies first. Get a better idea of what you want to do based on your constraints and then use RIU to fine tune it.
