Hi guys I've been slowly putting together my cabinet,its now built its 6ft long 6ft high and 4ft deep, I've cut it into to chambers 4x4 for veg/flowering and 2x4 for moms and little ones, the stage I'm at is putting up the lights but before I do Iwant to no if I have enough light(for the 4x4 chamber)! The ligts I have are as follows i have 4 T8's 4ft long with 2 bulbs per fixture for a total of 24300 lumens (I'm putting these along the walls) and i also have a 400w MH (beeming from the top) for veg and a conversion bulb for flowering which would give me 36000/45000 lumens at different stages of growth for a total of 60320 for veg and 69320 for flowering, the whole unit is covered in mylar if this helps. Also the t8's should I hang them vertically or horizonatly for the best results? thanks and I hope You guys understand what Im trying to ask because I'm really stoned:hubba: thanks again Phatpharmer
 
I'm really stoned too. :D

That'll be enough light for flowering. Optimal would be 5 000 lumen per sqr foot, or 80 000 lumen, but 69 000 will work.

I would hang them horizontally, with as little light from the MH being blocked.
