Indoor grow, NEED HELP!!! (Light's)

Heyy!! i have a room that the lenght is 15 feet and the width of it is 4 or 5 feet, i have 20 plants and they are about 1 foot long, i know i have to start using some serious lights because right now im using flourcents!. I have 400$ to spend, i wanna get lights that can cover all the plants well but for my price range. Plz give me some advice!!

15" x 5" I would say you need 3 400w ( one every 5 ft)or 2 1000(7 ft apart splitting the room in half), not easily done for $400, I'm not going to bash cfl's cuz I never tried them but you would need A LOT of them

you could get a 1000w hps and or a 750 lumatek digi and put it on like a mover, or you could possible make a system that moves the light back and forth in the space you have.

Personally id put either 3 600w or 2 1000's

do this. get 1k lumatek a nice hood and track system youll be set. all that will be about $400. i only do 20 plants per 1k light as rule of thumb.... kinda breaking it at the moment lol. Pe@Ce...

if you haven't sexed them yet, chances are only a few of them would be females, then you wouldn't have to cover so much space...400 dollars doesn't go as far as it used to, huh!

You can't properly light 60ft2 for 400 bucks. Maybe 16ft2.

i say try led ufos i just got two brand new on line for under 400 plus picked up a used one cycle 400 mh/hps for 50 my space is 10x8 getting ready to start soon. wondered if this is gonna work good or not and not sure on how many to grow, kinda want to split for veg and flower, not sure witch lights to use .

my buddy just got a couple 90W UFO LED's off ebay for $130 a piece.. they are very nice. im thinking of switching from HID to LED myself after seeing how powerfull just one of them are. 400W equivalent i think it is.... ebay is the cheapest too. other sites sell for an arm and a leg. Pe@ce..
