I have 6 54W 4ft long T5 HO Lights. My grow space is a little under 4ft wide so i cant have the lights flush with the top of the closet.

should i have the lights vertically (3 on each side of the plants)?
or have the lights on an angle above the plants?

i attached a diagram
it was fun to draw, yeah im a bit stoned....

If your that limited on space, I'd say go vertical. You can also add a smaller light above them, if you find your getting a lil stretch.

why not try both options together i.e. on the left for seedling's and vegging and on the right for flowering with lights vertical and 1 above :)

he can't use the same light to veg and flower at the same time. and he would need to split the section.. i'd go verticle

i thought splitting the section would be best if thats all the room buda has but im a total noob at this and am muddling through my first grow. i did wonder wether buda coulda hacked the sides of the closet just a thought . also lights for veging are cheap as, and if like me u are strack for cash veg lights are easily gettable when money is about :) as thats my only option a bit here and a bit there. i did do a picture with lights hanging above where both plants are in first pic u did but i cant seem to upload it lol oh well hopefully u understand what i meant im sure u do . and good luck with the project
