Got a question about how many watts or lumens. Do I need for a box that measures 7ft long. 1 and a half wide and 3 ft tall.I'm using florecents(cool whites and t5s). How much do I need ?any help would be appreciated.

You want 100 watts per square foot, so you have about 11 square feet. That space is rather odd shaped so I would say 800-1000 watts would do just fine. Unfortunately 3 feet vertical is not a lot. Can you fit the lights in there and still grow? You might find that it just won't work well.
