    To fill the whole room for flowering? No not enough light. You want 5,000 Lumens per square foot.

    Its fine to veg with those lights. How many plants are you gonna flower? How are you gonna grow then? Scrog, Sea of Green, you just gonna let them do their thing?


    I would say for:

    2 plants - 250HPS
    4 plants - 400HPS
    6 plants - 600HPS or 2x250HPS

    You also have to take venting into consideration. If you wanna use T5 then go with a 4 foot 6x54x or 8x54w fixture. 32w is bright to your eye but not very bright for flowering plants. Take a flishlight and shine it in your eye. Bet it wont feel too good.

    Throw a 250 HPS over them and call it a day. I will probabley pull a qp off my 2 plants I have under a 250 HPS.

    It will put off a bit of heat. You will need to vent the room right.
