for one plant your good.

Only one in that space. Your problem with your space is its height. If its only 2 foot high the light will take maybe 5 - 6 inches of that + you have to have a gap between bulb and plants 4 inches maybe (with good cooling, remember HPS lights get hot) so you already loose about 10 inches from your 24. How big is the pot 5-6 inches? Only leaves you with about 8 inches height to grow in.

You will need to LST (low stress training) the plant to get a descent yeild in that space.

If you use that light in a bigger space you could probably get 3 plants under it and grow them 4 or 5 foot high.

Better have some ventilation or it will be a easy bake oven.

With space so tight you could maybe try growing some lowryder's plants in there, but even them will grow to about 10-16 inches high but you might get 4 or more of them in there if you can get the height clearance. A mini sea of green.

Good. 2ft was a very tight squeeze.

Best of luck

Not advised to use tin foil as it can create hot spots. Mylar sheeting is preferable, if you cant get mylar I would just white wash the inside.
