Ok so this is my first grow.
plants are lowryder because I don't have too much space and just want a practice grow. I germinated 9 seeds and they should all be popping up soon.

I had the whole bunch under my kitchen fluorescents but I'm not sure if they are the right kind. so to be safe I went ahead and put them under one 70 watt hps about 13 inches under the light. tons of mylar and a home made reflector.

When they get bigger I have 2 150 watts and 1 other 70 watt hps for a total of 440 watts for 9 plants. Is this enough?
the closet measures 26" by 46"

Second...am I going to fuck up my seedlings under this light?! please direct me in the right direction RIU!

peace!

so Do you think If I get some cfl's it will do better? maybe even a MH?
It's not going to branch much anyway due to it being lowryder though is it?
