Recently i just started my first grow with my clones to arrive in a few days. My set up is all constructed. It is a fully-enclosed chamber and is 6x4 with about 4.5 ft in height. It is completely covered in high-grade mylar on the inside and i am using a T-5 4 ft 4 bulb lighting system with 4 5000k bulbs for veg and 4 3000k bulbs for flowering. I have planned only 2 plants for this room so that (since it is my first grow) i can keep track and carefully monitor the plants so i can learn as well as have an awesome yield. The problem is that i have read on various forums that this isn't enough for two plants which i plan to grow to about 3-4 and some say it is. I know the rule of thumb is about 3000 lumen per square foot but is this assuming i will be using every square foot for plants? The T-5 system is rated for 20000 lumen in all, so basically is this enough given my situation? Thanks.
