Lighting Is this gonna be enough?

[iSMOkE]

Wondering how this setup will do..

4 bulb fixture 24" in length
Custom reflector
4 Y adapters
8-26w cfl's 1600 lumens ea.
6500k and 2700k

in a space 3ft wide x 20" deep x 5ft high
Is 13,000 lumens sufficient?
how many plants in what size pots?
what sort of yield could be expected?

Plants would be photos
24/0 weeks 1-2
18/6 weeks 3-4
12/12 weeks 5+


Thanks for any input

Thanks for the welcome!

I want to keep it all cfl, for the heat/vent benefits.
Im hoping to use the lights i have full term,
I dont need to use all 5ft of my area.

how many plants, in what size pots would work best to maximize yield in this space?

Yea i may run 20/4 but i figured i could give them a good boost if i started them out 24/0.
I was also reading about the 12/12 all the way through method. seemed to work well.
The strains will be unknown because the beans were given to me. i like the mystery lol
