9 square feet, get a 400.... If not an option, get some cfl's to supplement your light on the side of the plants.

Indeed, get a 400 watt HPS or CFL's. I use a 150 watt HPS and about 15 CFL's for 2 plants lol

so what about two 150 should I be good or I still need the cfl's...

2 150's would be fine. Gives even coverage. A couple cfl's throughout never hurts, especially if yuor plants get to be 3-4 feets tall!
5000 Lumens per square foot is good intense light for flowering, so 9 square feet would be 45000 lumens, so a 400W system would be perfect, 2 150's very sufficient as well.

as i said research SCROG that will give u an idea of how many can fit 3 to 6 possibly and the method is awesome for those little areas good yield. I am high as fuck but im picturing a 3x3 correctly.

i read just fine...he doesnt have a space issue its a light issue.....a scrog is only beneficial if you can create the light canopy to support it...the fact of the matter is he doesnt have enough light for the area...stop confusing people...

which is exactly what u are doing. Scrog are fucking fantastic for small areas and low plant count to still get high yield. Par the 150watt HPS with a few CFLs if needed and uve got a killer setup. This comes from experience not just talking shit brah....in fact i run 150watt HPS about every 3ft area in my room with about 5 plants under each one with no problems..........................
