Technically you want 2000 lumen / sq foot. or 50 watt / foot

if your only using 13w fluorescents, your are going to need a shitload of them.

As the plant gets bigger, your going to have to add more and more.

If you do not, it will be stretchy, and not produce much.

i understand that and add my older posts i need answers with this site is much faster for recieving replys and i relize that but my grow space is small and i am onlyusing materials i have and if u need 2000 lumens then i will need 3? 800x3=2200 so that should be good enough? or 4? 4 would be 3000

Dude, go to Stealthhydroponics.com and get you one or two of their 85w grow lights they are about 24 dollars and they put out a hefty 4200 lumens apiece and they screw into standard light bulb fittings and come in tube or spiral form and work real well in smaller places. You'll spend more money on bulbs and electricity with standard cfls
