For a single plant yes but you would probably have to add a few CFL's on the side's .....

I'd shoot for at least a 250w. Alot of people use 150s and get decent results, but I've used one, and it was just enough to piss me off.

6 feet is good. 10 inches for your pots then about 15 inches for your lights vegg until the plant is about 18-20 inches depending on if its indica or sativa thats what I would do with you hight lol

dude electronic ballasats use 20% less energy I have a 600 watt and it raises my bill 30 I think a 250 watt wouldnt be much at all and it will help you yield alot compared to what you want to use.

lol, dude.....your average coffee maker uses 800w approx, 250w is nothing. both on how much it will cost to run it and it showing on the bill. lots of people use 2-3 1000w hps (or more) and they dont get busted.

Power Consumption Table


The figures in this table are approximate. The actual power consumption of your household appliances may vary significantly from the figures in this chart. Before you do a final load calculation for your household, we strongly recommend checking the tags and owners manuals for your appliances to get precise figures.
Each figure given for Watts used is for 1 full hour of operation. Many items, such as garage door openers, are used much less than 1 hour per day. Our PDF load calculation form will automatically divide any appliance's Watts by the fraction of hours used per day, down to 0.1 hours. (0.1 hr = 1/10 of an hour = 6 minutes)
Items marked (n/a) would normally be replaced by non-electric equivalents in homes using alternative energy systems.
