Do you have 5,000 lumens per square foot?

Do you have 2,000 lumens per square foot?

2000 is the absolute minimum you can grow with.

Where did you get your lights and what kind are they?

Shop lights?

Yes, those lights will work. How many watts you got?

To get anything worthwhile, the best thing to do is have at least 50W per.square ft. So if you have 200W, you would want to grow in a space no bigger than about 4-5ft square. You have 4 x 6 x 4...in ft I take it? That space would be perfect for 200-250 watts of light.

If you are thinking 4 40 watt tubes is going to do good, I think you are wrong. They will do fine in vegetative stage and then your buds will suffer badly.

COrrect. You will harvest a lil bag of weed with the lights you have.

depends how big you want it. I have seen plants under 10 inches tall and nothing but 1 bud that weighed in at at least a quarter. do that down a shoplight lenght and you could have about an ounce and a half maybe. but I would use 2 more shoplights for the sides and overdrive all of the ballasts 2x
