Lighting T5 Veggin question

[Kid Ki]

Im a newbie to autos myself. Havent grown yet but Im learning all i can about them before i do, hoping state going green will allow me to soon. It sucks to a cannabis lover, but I abide by the law here. Auto's intrest me tho, and benificial if grown for personal use. T5s are great too.
Every growers set up is somewhat different size wise.. I like 2.5wx2.5d (5sq ft) Light reflects better in tighter grows. 3 T5's works great growing 2Auto's with
a mix of bulbs 2-3000k and 1-6400k
Lumens is key.. most experts will tell you 2,500Lumens = 1Auto..

I just picked up a t5 4 bulb 96 watts total.. Sunblaze fixture.. 2 footer... I'm running two autos in 3 gal pots.. just put it up yesterday.. about 2 inches away from the plants... was running cfls before... week 3 for autos... all 6500k bulbs... I have two 3000k I was going to switch out in week 5.. so far so good... .. in.6 hours under it they are starting their 5th node.. I like the fixture.. I like how it looks.. and much neater in my small space I have.. id love to get another fixture and mount it sideways.. to get more coverage on the sides... I have a 4 footer.. I could certainly "mod" to fit into a 2 foot space.. chop the fixture down.. get more bulbs of the correct length. Hmmmmm.. sounds like a project for me. Lol
