i am a first time grower and am trying to set up a small grow room in my closet. i already have a 4' by 2' by 5' grow tent with mylar. and i ordered a 4 bulb 5t 2' light to put in it. i understand that i may need to buy another 2 foot light, but my question is this, is this enough light and if so how many plants would one 2 foot light be sufficient for? i have grown 2 plants so far in a home made box with just a 300wt hal. and a 120wt grow light. they are only about 2' tall and have been growing for 4 weeks. i just started the 12/12 on them 5 days ago. these i have been fortunate enough to be able to pull into the sunlight in the day time but want to set up something totally self contained without spending a fortune since i live on a fixed income with ssi. any help is much appreciated.
