so i have a closet with 4' x about 2' of space and 5 femmed ak-47/lowryder autoflowers on the way. do i have enough room to plant all 5? i'm thinking not but wanted some opinion. also i'll be using cfl's and have 3 different fixtures i plan to use that combine for 16 total bulbs. i know i need daylight for veg and soft white for flowering but i wonder whether i can just use 8 and 8 or some other variation instead of having 16 of each kind of bulb. i also was wondering what sort of fertilizer i should use.......probably more ?'s to come....let me know if you have any questions as well an i'll get pics up when everything gets rolling.

Cheaper to just get flouro setup's...regular T8's will do a great job, and will illuminate the closet alot better then those little cfl's will. I just finished and had some amazing results. I used 5 double tube fixtures with 7@5000K, and 3 @3000K, the tricome production beat out my HPS during flowering, the yield was smaller, but who cares when you get better bud.
