I appreciate the time to answer all these questions. You all kick ass
1. You shouldn't go by number of watts per square foot, but rather lumens per square foot. I've heard around 2,000 lumens per square foot minimum for decent growth. You may want much more than that for optimal growth. Be sure to check the number of lumens (amount of light) your bulb will put out as well as the wattage and adjust your ventilaton accordinly to avoid overheating your plants.

2. A simple way to check if you have enough distance between your plant and your light is just to stick you hand where the top of the plant is and see if the light burns, if it does, the light is too low! raise it. What burns you will burn your plants as well.

Hope this helps.
