You'll be fine with those two. Keep them 12 or more inches above the canopy after 35 days but keep it higher when they are younger... Enjoy!
Thanks R S. I just set the tent up and its actually 46x46x80. How many plants can I grow in that space? Since I'm a noob without preconceived ideas about growing or what works better than the next I thought I start with DWC. I've spent hours researching and with the right tools and RO water its seems easier than soil
6 -7 in 3gal smart pots
Quality and efficiency these are probably the best leds going.

I'd grow one big plant, get the most practice out of the hand full of free seeds ya got....get like a 40w cfl in a cheap garage type reflector. use this to start the seedling off..
as it gets bigger add one of the leds, once it starts flowering add the second one....keep the CFL centered up and quasi the leds as top side lighting in the corners if you know what I mean...the side lighting effect greatly increases yeild.
going with one big bucket be it soil or soil less or DWC will act as a great buffer over smaller containers and volumes . personally I'd go "dirt" in about 20gallon. you'll only need to water once a week or so.
you'd be suprized to see how quickly a single plant can fill up a 4x4 givin enough leg room to fill its genetic potential
or id go with 4 plants in 5 gallon buckets, that work pretty good also.

What's your budget, marywanther? Another HPS would be fine but you're going to be adding in quite a bit more heat, which means possibly beefing up your extraction and additional tent cooling. Which Mars units were you looking at?
