What's your budget?

With your space and number of plants I'm guessing you'll reach the limits of your budget before you could go overboard on lighting. So the question becomes, how much light can you afford? And don't forget to add in the cost of ventilation. If your looking to spend $50, the choices are different than if you've got $200.
