This is my first grow attempt, and I've set up a pretty nice area in the corner of my closet. It's been painted white, for reflectivity, and light leak proofed, as well as a pretty clever little camoflauge set up. (If you looked into the closet, right where the weed was growing, you would never guess it was there)

Pretty much I want to make sure I have sufficient lighting though. Since I'll only be growing 2 or three plants at a time, I'm gonna stick to fluorescent lighting. I have 2 2' fluoro bars, one only being 15 watts, the other bening 75. I also planned on getting about 6 CFLs and rigging them all around the plants, for even light coverage. Should this be enough? I'll be growing white widow. :leaf:

Sorry for a terrible picture. I only have a 50mm lens for my camera, and cant frame the whole thing (closet door doesnt slide open all the way)

Anyway there it is. As the plant grows, I can take down the wire shelf its sitting on (as seen in the picture) and move all the crap below it, and move the plants down to their shelf. There's about 4 to 4 1/2 feet of height for them that way. Also, once the seeds sprout, I'll move the two fluoro to a better rig, not the ghetto cardboard tin foil hung by a rope set up.

And as I said before i was going to add CFLs around those walls from every direction, to provide even light coverage. Once I have the final set up complete I can post more pictures, but how's this set up for a start for 3 plants?
 
looks good to me i did a simular setup in my shed 3 x 5 foot floras 2 x cfls 1x fan (dont forget a fan)
but yeh looks good
 
2 feet tall by 3 feet long but it's expandable to over 4 feet tall, and pretty much up to 8 feet in length, but I'm trying to keep it down to that one side of the closet.
 
those fluoros need to be HO (high output) if not, than they aren't even breaking 3000 lumens, which is a waste. You will get undeveloped pale green plants. May be good for seedlings, but not much else
 
Sorry not to be a douche or anything, but from what I can see its not much of a setup.

Just looks like you have it on a shelf with some lights hanging.
