I'm using 4 LEDs 25watt a piece with an equivalent of 200watts and 2 cfl 42watt a piece with an equivalent of 200watts. So I'm only using 184watts with an equivalent of 1200 watts. With the temp staying around 75. Thats roughly 18,400 lumens. Probably only gonna have 4 to 5 plants in there at a time.

Think I need more light then that?
 
Yes works for simple veg. Lights your using now should keep them growing in Veg no problem. Not thriving tho.

For flower absolutely need more light if you want any density or decent bud. Grab an LED grow light even on amazon. Cheap -easy -low heat production .

Good luck

What do u all think?? Do u think this will work for a simple veg room?
Yeah the room looks really good but you can’t go wrong with more light. They’ll live but won’t thrive based on the photos. You can get pretty decent bigger LEDs for like $50. You gotta remember the light dissipates within inches of the bulb, so it’s not gonna penetrate the further away leaves.

I don’t meant to criticize, just think you’ll be happier with more light...
