Lighting a closet

I have a 400-watt metal halide (MH) lamp lighting a closet that measures 80 x 160 cm. Is this enough light? Should I add another lamp during flowering?

The 400-watt lamp provides enough light to grow the plants vegetatively. It will also produce nice buds in a garden filled with indica varieties. However, more light is required to flower indica-sativa and sativa-indica hybrids. This light might be supplied most easily using four 120 cm T-5 fluorescents placed on either side of the garden. They will produce the extra light that these varieties need to produce abundant tight, potent buds.
