Question 1st time grower needs help

I know this question has probobly been asked a thousand times. I have 6 plants that have been growing in my window for about 6 weeks now and are almost too big to keep there any longer and I want to move them to my closet which is about 2x4x8. What kind of light(s) should I use for them? My budget is rather thin and I cant really do too much "construction" to it. Any suggestions?

as many as you can afford get the highest wattage you can find

6500k veg
2700k flower

it doesnt hurt to mix up the spectrum. Get the y adapters put two of each spectrum in each socket

alright......my thought process is fucked atm (and i kill brain cells daily)......how many bulbs would that be almost exactly?
the only answer i can think of is possibly 3 25 watt cfl's @ about 1,800 lumens a piece for the 6500k maybe?

just get a 400 watt hps. you can pick them up cheap from second hand shops. Just gotta look around. Produce much better yield and grow quicker. Just get your temp right and airflow good and ul be harvesting in no time at all. Check growFAQ coz ul find all your answers are there. PEACE
