i'm really just using the corner of a closet right now and they're real close together. probably just 1 1/2 square ft. They're in bigger pots now also, so maybe a 2 square feet area at the end of the day

do you have it partitioned off?

keep in mind that you will need to invest in adequate cooling as well if/when you upgrade your lighting.

well, go for a 400W or 600W HPS. just make sure that you can keep your ladies cool!
