setting up a seperate Veg Closet

So, My first grow. I have 2 females flowering nicely in my room. I have set up my clones that have rooted in a 24" wide 6' tall cabinet. not in the closet but right outside it. Question is this, all of my lights are 48" long and will not hang horiz. Is it okay for the clones to have lighting that is vertical? HELP!

Vertical light is fine, however your flouro tubes lack very intense light to compensate for their distance from the plants. It will work if you can maintain a very short distance between the foliage of the plants and the light but it dosnt sound like your setup will allow this. Consider a 24" t5 fixture, alot of guys around here use t5s for vegging and clones with great results.

I have been looking and couldn't find any pre-wired ones, plus, i already have so much invested in the 48" lights i have. I'm not trying to be cheap.....well, i guess i am >:

I always thought that that would be nasty for a cab grow, I have the 48" vegging clones, works great, watch out for the heat, its not alot but can warm up a really enclosed space.
