First time read EVERY FAQ still some questions

Ok so i read all the FAQ's and still have some questions my deal is still different then those questions so this is what i have: cabinet 6ft high 2ft deep and 3ft wide Hydrofarm 6 Lamp 3000K T5 Fluorescent Grow Light 171cfm inline fan and other thigs im just makin sure the lights and fan r good for the space i dont want to do too many plants at once on my first time 2 or 3 if possible if not no problem so can someone tell me if im good with that stuff more worried about the light being sufficient for the whole thing i have all different bulbs to mix and match as well

Your fan is most definitely adequate but what are you using it for. I would suggest getting a carbon filter if it is merely for ventilation as even a few plants could smell very bad. In the good sense that is. I would also assume your plan is to attempt to place that four foot light fixture diagionally in your space as your room is only 2x3 but I would check and be sure that fits. Personally, if i were to use floroescent lighting in your case I would probably purchase two or possibly just one large multi bulb 2 foot fixture as well as either a few single strip lights or several CFL's for sidelighting as floros have pretty minimal penetrating power and without it many of your lower buds will be disappointing.

That being said I do believe that in growing a relatively small number of plants that the setup you have devised would be adequate. I would still advise getting a filter. No sense in letting the entire would enjoy the smell of fresh growing pot as it eminates from wherever you may setup when so many would gladly see you thrown in jail for doing so with no remorse. Have fun and be safe.

My first grow used a 2'x4' 4 bulb flourescent that put out a combined 7,600 lumen. 2700k frequency. I looked at your light and I'd call them similar. Here's what I learned. You want your light right up close and personal to your plants or you'll get spindly growth. Considering the area you have to work with I'd consider a vertical sea of green (hang your light verticle from chain and a few hooks in the top will let you move it around) or some other low profile training that will allow you to move your light or plants to within inches of each other. I found mine were often touching the bulbs with no problems to the plants. Adjusting will be required with growth. As your light is 3000k, which is for flowering and fruiting, I'd also consider some added 6500k cfl or single bulb sticks for early/vegitative growth. I'm not sure you'd be able to mount them where they can do the most good unless you put them between your plants, then they should reflect back from the fixture in front of them as well as getting the side light. But you did say you have other bulbs so maybe just changing to the right freq (k) bulbs will do but the more light the better and spectrum does matter. AND the inside of your cabinet is white or covered in mylar right? I used shiny white wrapping paper in my smaller station and it works great. Especially in a small space , bouncing the light around really helps.
