For that many plants that little closet won't do...as for lights...for that many plants...your going to need ALOT more 26W=100W cfl's. Each plant needs at least 4-5 cfl's once they get any size to them. For now a few more cfl's will be ok...but i would suggest you find a MH setup.

You do need to also invest in some mylar or some flat white paint, the colour of your walls is just absorbing the light when it should be bouncing it back to your plants. I would suggest lining that closet with mylar..it's not expensive, about $30 a roll, and try to save up for a MH/HPS conversion kit.

Stay away from aluminum foil...it's bad and will burn your plants.

ouch,, stay away from foil haha. i just lined it, i read that you should hang it with the dull side out, i did that for the first grow, but when i was putting it up in the closet i was like, i dont get it, the shinny side its lreflecting the light even from my bedroom lights lol, so i put it with shinny side out.. bad idea? and here is pics with 2 more lights.

If you got the $$...go to a grow shop and buy some mylar...you'll see a huge difference.

It's not recommended to use it...white paint does a better job at reflecting.
