1.5x1.5=2.25
2.25x35=78.75
So a 100w full spectrum led should do
Have fun

Bloom Plus BP1000 is what I use. Cheap, effective, not too much heat. 95watts i believe

I use a 600w adjustable "grow cruiser" led panel from amazon - 30 quid and more than good enough to keep a mother and provide you with cuttings

i have a 2x2x3' clone/seedling tent with one of these HLG 65s and couldnt be happier.
for an extra $50 you could have something also capable of a full veg cycle if the need ever arose in the HLG 100.
As others have said theres cheaper options but im a firm believer in the old phrase that "you get what you pay for"
Ive vegged under T5, ive vegged under blurples, etc and theres a clear difference in the newer blue spec veg specific LED's for veg. top notch node spacing, side branching and leaf production and just super "happy" plants.

I just ordered the HLG65v2. We’ll see how the mother plants like it . Thank you for the suggestion

Id get something which incorporates extra far red and uv, its beneficial for plant health.

Why would you want a short motherplant

both of those things are more beneficial during bloom. Vegging under a B spec light and flowering under one with far red and uv is perfectly fine. (the levels and wavelengths of UV in most lights actually doing much is another debate)
