New Grower my first grow

[Chronczar]

i am wanting to start a little grow in a mylar tent 3feet x 2feet x 5eet
i am only wanting to grow simple, 2 autos, just enough to keep me smoking. i am just wondering if a T5 2x4bulb full spectrum will be enough or do i have to go 2x8bulb?
thanks for any advice

The bigger the better at least a six bulb,you can always use it later if you want more plants in a bigger tent.

thanks thats what i was thinking.. so a T5 2x6 or 2x8 full spectrum is basically all i will need to do a basic grow? thanks again

I Have my room at 2' 4" by 2'8" and am only running 2x4. my last(and only) grow was Himalaya blue diesel and onyx running subcool recipe for soil and i got about 19 grams per out of 3 plants in 3/4 gallon pots. If i could i would go back and cram 8 bulbs in there and use nutes instead i would do it hands down.! and I think that it would have made a drastic improvement

What is the wattage/lumens on the bulbs? For 2 plants you'll want a minimum of at least 50 watts per plant. If need be you could always supplement the T5 with some CFLs. Also, what are the temperature (k) of the bulbs? You'll want something around 6500k for veg, 2700k for flowering.
