That is a small space so plan on keeping them short. 5 1/2 feet doesn't leave much room for lighting, plants, and soil.

5-10 plants is how I'd use that space, with a really short veg time.

You'll have to finish around 3ft or shorter, which shouldn't be too hard.

Keep in mind that 1200W over 11sqft gives you 109W/sqft which imo is overkill. Two 400W lamps would give you 73W/sqft which is still overkill, especially for plants that will be under 3 feet.

One of those 600W lamps would put you at 55W/sqft which is pretty damn good lighting.

I've always recommended that people aim for a canopy coverage of between 40-60W/sqft.

Id run four, two per light and keep the lights high. Theyll get big fast if you have that much light.

With it only 2 ft deep, a lot of the light falls on the walls of the tent (box, cabinet, whatever). Where it's largely wasted.
