My room is a small closet bout 5 foot tall and 3 foot wide. I have 3 24" 7800k Fluorescents and was thinking about getting a plant/aquarium light but was wondering what is the best red spectrum light (for flowering) is low budget? Also can I use the 7800k for flowering along with the red spectrum?

I know I need more lights or bigger lights but its all I have to work with right now.

Also do you think its enough room for 4 plants.

I'm using fish immulsion for nutes, and a C02 whip cream dispenser for C02 (when my babies get ready) let me know how to improve.

Get something in the 2000 - 3000k range for flowering and yes you can add the other lights during flowering though 7800k sound pretty high.

You should be able to do 4 plants in there, I wouldn't expect a big yield with just the fluorescent lights. You could add some cfls for side lights that would help your yield a bit.

Thanks for the advice I'm just on a budget and buyin it just isnt what I wanna do anymore. I figure 4 plants would be good for me and my girl. I'll get pics up when I get my camera back up and running

I wouldn't bother with the aquarium bulbs they cost more and tend to be on the cooler side of things.

You best bet for flowering would be warm white flourescents and if you wanted to spend extra money on bulbs the Gro-Lux bulbs work great for vegging.

Basically for bulbs, cool white for veg and warm white for flower. No need to spend extra money on the other ones unless you want to. You could use a daylight bulb to veg instead of cool white but it's up to you.
