Lights on an angle

I am attempting to grow again but this time is extremely low budget. I am using 2 4ft flourecent lights bracketed together so they both point at the plants.

My question is, is that the closet I have is slightly too small for the 4 ft lights. In order to make them fit I would have to to put the lights on a 20 degree (estimate) incline. If I arrange the plants so they are still within 2 in of the lights will the slope of the lights cause any problems??

I have no other options on the place and lights besides what I have. I just dont want to get my hands on seeds or clones and have complete failure.

if the plants are that small go to walmart and buy some cfl's, get 2 43 watts cfl that enough to veg the plant 6-8 inches. good luck with your grow.

I don't see any problem with this at all. I grew like this in a 2'x2' closet for a while - I had one dual-bulb 4' shoplight in each corner and got a surprisingly decent yield. What are your concerns? Heat, burning the plants, etc.?

i dont see any problems either.. if you could put something under the plants in the middle of the v so that they are all close enough to the lamps all throughout, i would think they should be fine...
best of luck.
