first grow here just have some questions

hey guys as you can see my setup is small but i would remove the top shelve for more room. This is what im thinking for my setup. I would have 6 plants in a 8 by 12 inch area under a 250 watt hps light with some sort of reflectors closing in the light to the area and a fan circulating the the air. I am new at this so anything suggestions or tips would be appreciated. thanks

8' x 12' area and a 250 watt light???????? A 250 watt light will cover an area around 2'x2' not much more. Sorry to say but you like 6 1ooo watters to cover that space.Just my two cents. Check out the FAQ at the top of the page and it will give you alot of ideas.

ic how many plants would you estimate being able to grow in a 2 by 2 foot area

Well if you are doing a sea of green, about 4.
