ok so i posted my setup a few days ago and i didnt like it. so i went out and bought 4 more 23watt (100w equiv) daylight 5000k, which makes 8 23watt (100w equiv) daylight 5000k which equals 184 watts and 40,000k total for two plants. still i wasnt happy. today while i was working i was asking siri (iphone) where i can i find a hdyroponic store near me and she told me! it was 6.5 miles away. when i was done work i drove over there and picked up a sun system hood (shown below) and a feliz cfl 125watt 6500k bulb (also shown below). so i feel that a total of 305watts and 46,500k is perfect for me. i think the 125 watt pushes out 12,000lums so that makes a total of 24,800 lums. i think that is more then enough for two plants. when i reach the flowering stage i will swap out the big bulb for a 2700 and swap half of the smaller ones out for 2700 and i will leave 4 5000k in there for flowwering too.

here are some pics of the setup. as the plant grows taller i just move all the lights higher and higher, and yes they all move up. right now my plants are outside getting some free sun.

your set up looks very good but i would change a lot of it to increase yeild

tin foil is not the best thing to use
paint the inside mat white which will give you better results as the light will reflect even with no hot spots

having the small light under 125w light stop you getting the 125w light close to the top of the plants
in each corner use a pole so each corner has 2 light that can slide up and down so you can give lots of light to the best bud sites

the heat will build up quick in there so best bet buy a 4" ruck fan and carbon filter and pull the air out the top into the carbon filter which will stop all the smell

and some small vents at the bottom on each side

this will give the plants lots of fresh air and keep them cool
