I just set up a 5 foot wide by 4.5 foot deep by 2.5 foot tall area for vegging from seeds for a soil grow. I have about 10-12 seedlings now in that space

I currenty have in the vegging space the following

2 6500K 85 watt cfl(350 watt incan equal) 4200 Lumen output
2 5000K 55 watt cfl(250 watt incan equal) 3600 Lumen output
2 48" fluro 2 bulb fixtures(4 bulbs total) with 40 watt 6500 K GE daylight bulbs at 3050 lumen each bulb.

My figures show around 27,800 lumen in a 22.5 square foot space.

Is that enough light fro the vegging stage, should I add more and what kind?

I will be purchasing a 600 watt hps for flowering in a 5 foot wide by 4.5 foot deep by 5 foot tall space. Should that be good for 6 plants through flowering, or should I try a 1000 watts instead. any help/suggestions greatly appreciated. Heat could be a small problem but planning on getting an econocool tube and using a rotating fan. some of you regulars please give your opinions. This site is so informative and everyone seems truly helpful. :jointsmile:
