That would depend on the size of the space and how many plants you plan on growing. 11200 lumens isn't much though.

How many plants do you plan on growing? 2000 lumens per plant is pretty much the lowest you can go and still get decent plants. That might get you two good plants, but you definatly have room for more.

Thats the size of the entire room, the veg room isnt that big. Cant wait to put these tomato's under them :evilgrin:

So you have a 12 sq ft, 11200/12=933 lumens per sq ft. Thats not enough. Add more lighting. 3000 lumens per sq. ft. is about as low as you want for veggin. Of course thats in my opinion and I dont do everything as it is posted on here. But, I grow massive plants, so I must be doin' summin' write Best of luck.
