Hey guys, Wats up.
So i'm starting/started my first grow and have a question regarding my lights. I am just wondering how many plants you would advise me to shoot for as i have never done this before. my space is 2' square feet and 4' tall. Im growing in my closet and have the ventilation set up already. From what i have read im thinking i will veg 4 in the room before moving one which i will keep as a mother leaving 3 to flower in the space. The entire grow will be done with a combination of T5s and CFLs. I have a 4 tube T5 fixture that currently contains 4 x 24W 6500K HO bulbs and a 4 bulb CFL fixture which is using 4 42W CFLs (currently 1x 4100K 1x 6500K 2x2700K). When the time comes i have a number of other CFLs(8+ 23W) which i plan to dangle around the plants to help once the plants are larger **Note i will be changing the lamp color when i change stages. Any advice is really appreciated.

As always, Smoke On

So you think my 4 plant veg / 3 plant flower plan will work alright in this space??? Its white widow as well which from what ive read is a short stocky strain to begin with so height shouldnt be the issue cause that is my biggest concern. my ladies getting to tall and having to lop off limbs would be a damn same!!!

2 plants, 3 max

topping the plants at lease once will help control verticle room, but also allow you to pull the branches out and pin them down with some wire, better coverage

but only flower out 2 3 if you have too, but with proper topping and training i dont see why you cant get 2 maybe 3 oz off each plant if you can grow properly

I'm with jagle, and would have said something about max 2 plants except that you're growing in such a confined space there will be a lot of light sharing. So I say fuck it, do 3!

Thanks for the input... i have started 4 feminized seeds so if all germ then i go 4veg/3flower if some dont germ then that solves my space issue...lol. Now here is another question i was posed by a freind. I have a 400W MH industrial style light(vertical bulb meant for factory floor lighting, ballast attached to socket) and was wondering is it worth using because the space is so small... i foresee heat issues. Heat issues aside would this light be overkill for the space considering i have the fluoros already set up and going and not to mention i can change their bulbs discharge color when needed.
