Enough light?

Hi, I have 6 white widows under 2 250watt hps. Is 500 watts enough for my girls? I've only got a space of a metre or so squared and 6 ft height

How big are the plants? 500 is good for like 3x3 or 4x4 area depending on reflectorans size of plants...

You are probably fine. 3 plants under each 250 HPS is enough lighting. My guess is they are around 35K to 40K lumens per hps light. That gives you 6k to 7k lumens a plant. I personally like more light. The more you can have without burning your plants the better...
 
They only stand about 2.5 foot including the pot, they all have enough space to breathe well enough, the temp isn't going any higher than the mid 20s. I was just worried about the density of the buds and I heard that not having enough light could effect that
