Why only 2 under this screen? To fill that you are going to have to veg them way out. Why not go for 4 or even 6 smaller plants? You will reduce the veg time by half at least. Also note that you can FIM them quite a bit earlier. The common wisdom is after the fifth real node. Forced branching will help fill the screen faster.
