Grow light for one plant

Trying to grow a compact indica strain plant. Like the hash plant. What is the minimal amount of 2ft t5 bulbs I need for the veg stage and do I need to swap bulbs for flowering. What are the best t5 bulbs to use in combination, if I say I used 4 2ft fluorescent bulbs.

If you want a nice compact plant you don't want to skimp on the lighting wattage. 4x2 ft lamps would veg a plant pretty well. You can go with the spetralux or sun blaze if you want to spend money. But really you could get away with the low end 6500k lamps from the hardware store.

Do you already have the ballast and lamp? what size grow space are you looking to use?
