6500k/Daylight for veg. 13-25 actual watts per sq foot.
2700k/Warm White for flowering. 50-100 actual watts per sq foot for best results

Gonna be tricky getting two decent plants in that small space, IMO.
I'm currently flowering some clones I put into 12/12 at maybe 9", sprayed with BushMaster to keep them small, did zero training, and any one of those would fill your floor space . . . and those are under 600W HPS.

you shouldnt have a problem groming a couple females in that space just make sure they arent TALL sativas and keep them to a main bud... also check out SCROG it may be a good setup for you to max your yeild and take advantage of your height issue
