    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.
