What's up all! So I'm getting prepped for my first legit grow. I am limited on space so I have a shelf in my closet that is white walled and about 2x2x3. I will be growing Barney's pinnapple express auto feminized. So far I have bought 2 46w 6500 cfls and 2 23watt 2700 cfl. I am only growing one plant for personal use. Any suggestions on if I will need more lights? Also since it is auto flowering should I leave both spectrums on the whole grow or start with 6500 then switch to 2700 when it starts to flower. What kind of yield should I expect? I have happy frog from FF and perlite to mix with soil. How much perlite should I mix? Sorry bout all the question I am just super ready to get going!!!! Thanks for any input!

If it was me i would personally use all the lights you can get throughout the plants life, it'd be kind of a waste to not. Regarding your question about yield i would say that it is possible to harvest close to an ounce, then again i have only grown autos once but i usually get an ounce with a similar setup. Make sure you have proper ventilation going on in your grow closet, its pretty important. Good luck, keep me posted ;)

For a single plant then yeah your space will be adequate :) i have grown 4 plants in the same sized space so you should be fine.
