Hi!

Totally new to this. I'm planning on starting my own grow room. Size: 47 square feet and planning on planting about 10 plants. or can i fit more in there?

I was thinking of using 2 x 4 bulb T5 fixtures at 54 watts and 2000 lumens per bulb for vegetative stage, and then switching to 2 x 400 watt HPS at 50,000 lumens each for bloom.

From the resarch I did, I understand that 50 watts of light per square foot, and a good amount of lumens per square foot is about 3500.

Do I sound like I am on the right track? or have a gotten confused along the way?

Thank you!
