Hi

can anyone tell me how many lights/watts should i use in a space of
2 square foot (24 inches all round) by 6 foot tall. I know it's very small, but I am only growing a small number of plants.
Starting off I am going to use flourescents. How many should I use and how many watts? What size flourescents should I use? I was thinking of two 10 inch flourescents? Where would i put them in the box (side, top etc). After 5-6 weeks when I switch to a High pressure sodium, how many watts would be the best for such a small area? Would 150watts be high enough? I hear the 400 watt are the best. Will the plants grow more than 5 foot, as the box is only about 5'6 to 6 foot?

Please help
Stephen
