Hello everyone! This is my first post and I'm so excited to grow my first bud! So heres my question, I am looking to grow some Autoflowering bud.

http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/lowryder-seeds/lowryder-easy-ryder-aka-lowryder-2-x-ak47/prod_442.html

I am going to be growing in a small space in my closet (about 3x2 feet walls painted white with black curtain)Would one t5 6400k light and one 3000k light be enough to supplement these 3 plants? Or should I get 2 of each? Also, could I combine the 6400 and the 3000 and just have the plants ride it out with both of those on? Or would I get a bigger yield not mixing the two?

Also, if you have any comments or recommendations on the seed strain or light fixtures please give your input, I'd love to hear it!

Thanks!

it'd work, just don't expect too much from em. You can mix the 6400 and the 3000, some people do it some don't. I'm not sure which is more efficient though.

Lowlife has some nice auto crosses and most of them are stable. I really liked the AK 47 but it was the only auto I've tried. But the AK 47 was one of the first to be stabilized

I would rock them and see how you like them. I would get as many fls as you can afford but remember the watts add up and sometimes it would be cheaper to run a hid. but with that said get a feel for growing! good luck and post some pics

get some cfls for side lighting. Hang them from extension cords so you can adjust them.

Your lighting is currently insufficient.

If my plants would only be in a 13"x6" area would that change my light deficiency?

Crud wrote a fecking novel and accidentally deleted it. Long story short? IF you use the light that you linked to...get mixed bulbs. Blue is good for root growth and veg...orange is good for flowering. Both is never bad.
In addition buy a few 99 cent extension cords and a few Y socket splitters. Buy a few cool and a few warm white cfls (I liked 23 watt models for price and for output)
(Cool will have a blueish tint to the light...warm will have an orangish tint to the light) Being able to light very specific areas...and being able to adjust the lights as the plant grows
is crucial with cfls. You want the cfls about 2" from a budsite...knowing that the most light comes from the sides of the cfl...not the front.
