I agree with growdemon that the lamp arrangement could be a lot better. How about the lamps arranged with the sides of the lamp facing the plants either by putting each lamp vertical to the side of the plants or over the top but positioned horizontally with a reflector of sorts.

With the right nutrition you should be able to pull a good yield with that space and lighting.

The middle one's sat outside for about 2 weeks collecting rainwater.That's why they are so much bigger than the one's to the left. I tried to Rating: 5
