Im just looking to grow 2 plants to start but im a bit concerned if i have enough light! Any tips or suggestions would be really appreciated!

Here it goes, so far I have:

1x 23W CFL (1500 lumens)
4x 20 W CFL's (1200 lumens each)

Colour: White 3500K for all of them.

In total its 6300 lumens...:leaf:

Ok, heres the deal. You need 2,500-3,000 lumens per square foot. Width multiplied by length gives you square footage, add the lumens of all your lights together, divide lumens by square footage. GL
