Yeah i think next time around, if i were you, id add 3 more plants and spread the lights a few more inches, just for higher yield.

Looking good. bet that 450 watts will do alot better then 1 400.
I originally started with just 1 of those 150W's, I just set up the other 2 about a day ago, before that for 3 weeks, she was under only 1 150W. It would more likely be more cost efficient to run 1 400W, but, I didn't pay for any of those lights, they were given to me by a friend when he bought himself new lights. However, I think having the 3 150's will allow me to space the lighting more evenly throughout the room.

You will be more light efficient* with that set up. being able to spread it some. Also, starting plants at different times is a bad idea in my book. The canopy will be uneven. You can cut them to be the same height but it will catch up with them eventually.

I disagree I can control canopy height by putting spacers underneath the younger ones planters to get them to the height of the other plants, and or, lower one of the three lights to the height of the smaller ones.
