Conquering the heat issues that are sure to pop up will probably be your most immediate problem, but it is possible to have too much light. I'm not sure if you're there or not and there's only one way to find out my friend.:weed:

the heat wont be a issue since i live in Quebec, the coldness of winter is already settled in , my air i take it from directly outside ( so nice frosty air ) , and ive got a fan pushing 245 cubic feet per minute the air outside

and its big like a closet , so .. lol the air gets out quick lol

does anybody know whats the max lumens is ? and Per feet?

i feel like creating some Godzilla's in my closet lol , ill open the door and its gonna devour me! - 30 mins then im leaving work to go smoke my joint Yay!

If you have too much light in your closet the plant leaves will start turning white to protect them from the photosynthisis.

Lumens do not add up so the only light that could even come close is your 400W. Keep it at least 6" or more from your plants and it should be ok.

too much light in one spot could be an issue, but if you're gonna say keep the 400w above and place the other lights at the sides and bottom of the plants then you will have nice growth everywhere!

with winter setting in you will find its hard to keep heat in and even more inportantly when your light are off your room temps will drop drasticlly in no time with direct outside air

thinkin you be lucky to maintain a temp in the 75 to 80 degrees lights on
and with lights off you will drop down to 50 degrees and even lower as per outside temp
in no time

WTF guys?
400 for 4-5 plants? Sounds perfect to me. May need to start with distance and work your way down. But, Very definately YES! I will certainly work.
I wouldn't recommend 4-6 inches on a seedling or clone though.
