Quick Light Set Up Question

[Creeper34]

I plan to grow one to two strawberry cough clones in a small 3 x 3 foot closet, i have currently purchased 6 26 watt CFL Bulbs. I plan on using 3 "Y" splitters and hang the lights evenly across the canopy. I will line the walls with Mylar and run all the needed fans (inlet and outlet)

Basically what i want to know is, Do you think the 6 23 watt (100 watt incandescent) lights will supply sufficient lighting for the possible 2 plants? Any tips at all would be nice.

I also thought about possibly running 2 to 4 more lights for side lighting but i figured that with the Mylar the light would probably be reflected fairly well to the lower branches. What do you think?

I grow 5 plants with 3 x 35 watts bulbs (2700k) at the moment (in flowering - in vegging I used 3 x 65 w 6500k) and its all going fine, so my answer is yes it should be fine.

thanks man, i was starting to think no one was ever gonna reply!! i read all these posts where it seems like everyone is using 400watt hps/mh's and i just dont have the money to spend so i started checking up on the CFLs and through some of the logs on here the yields still seem very impressive (equal in some cases) so im glad to get some input from someone else going somewhat smaller LOL but like i said its greatly appreciated :jointsmile:
if everything goes well i may start a grow log & ill be sure to let ya know!
