    so far what im thinking about getting is a power grower eco
    a 600watt light not sure if should go with a hps bulb or a mh bulb
    a hydrofarm reflector
    any advice and tips to improve the yield would be awesome
    thank you for ur time guys
    In that small a space heat is your enemy. Maybe a 400 holtilux blue bulb. They are new and can do veg and flower with same bulb. Make sure you have vents and A/C to cool it down. 2x2 I could get 2 ten gallon tubs in there with 4 or 6 plants in each one, maybe veg to 16 to 18 inches then the plants end up about 3 feet plus the tub.

    thank you LOC NAR for the reply
    and i will switch to a 400watt
    yeah that what i was thinking heat is gonna be the biggest problem
    my grow space is a closet which seem the easiest for me
    i could control the light and its the only free space i have at the moment
    I'm guessing just a fan won't be enough in this small space
    so i was hoping if anyone could be so kind to give me some advice
    on how to cool down the temp
    and also do you need to have a co2 tank for just one plant?
    or could i just spray water on the plant to makeup for the co2?

    Don't spray water on plants with Hps or MH lights. It causes burns.

    Please be carefull with the C02 in a people living area. CO2 is heavier than air and can fill up a room and will drowned you. You never see or know it's there. If you have plenty of ventilation no need of co2. You could run higher temps with co2 but then you need an ice probe or chiller to keep water temps down.

    Not knowing what you have. You need an A/C vent going in low in the closet and a hot air vent going out the top of the closet.
