Hey im fairly new to growing i know the basics and have grown a few plants indoor and outdoor before. I Currently Got A flourescent fixture with two bulbs one bulb is daylight the other is cool white. i was wondering if this is enough to grow a decent plant? or mabey a few? im growing in a five foot high by five foot long closet with the lights resting about 2-3 inches above the plant. any info or help will be appreciated

if u use cfls for side lighting you should be able to get a few ok/decent bigger plants, or u could do a sog if u want. add some more light either way. i'd say maybe like 4-5 42w cfls (and/or do you have another flouro fixture u can toss in there?)and u should have enough light for a good lsted big plant or 2, or like 20+ small plants. do you have the closet painted white or have mylar hanging up? do you have a couple fans? they are also very important. hope i helped, any more questions? i'd do a sea of green myself if i was in your situation btw.lol

i also have the walls painted white and have a fan. my plants have just started in jiffy pots and are only about an inch or two high. my buddy gave me a tray with a water pump along with some yellow rope,miraclegro and plant containers. he explained to me a way of setting up a wick sytem wich sounded uncomplicated and was hoping to move onto if possible..

the plants will be stretchy and most bud will be light and airy if you are only using fluorescent tubes.

would it be worth the while too grow with just what i have? and would the est cropping time still be 9 weeks?
