    currently I'm using shop-lites with 2 40 watt grow lights in each(4 footers} my question is, will this be adequate lighting from start to finish? I'm just a closet farmer.

    you should be ready to harvest now...I just finished an indoor grow under 400hps light and in soil and it took 3.5 months

    Depends on how many plants. To adequately grow pot, a plant needs an absolute bare minimum of 15 watts per square foot for veg and 30 watts per square foot for flower.
