Im looking into buying a grow light set up now the question is should i buy a 400 lumatek MH/HPS with a cooling hood set up....or buy a T-5 with 4 2ft bulbs? i have a 3.5 x 3.5 x 8 grow closet that i constructed. DWC set up 2 21 gallon plastic strong boxes plan on 4-6 plants for personal use only. 2 whisper 30-60 air pumps 4 6" airstones. also what kind of harvest should i have with 4-6 plants. if done right. ill need more help when i get some good known beans with nutes and stuff but any and all suggestions would be great this will be my 1st grow and i want it to rock!!

No question the lumetek is your best bet, use a HPS bulb for flower and the MH for vegg.
T5 'S work very well for vegging but I wouldnt want to flower with them.
400 watts is a little short of the light you need for your size grow space but reasonable.
600 would be better but hotter.
Dont worry about harvest weight until you got some plants but the general rule of thump is .5 grams per watt.
