i am thinking about buying a 150 watt hps light complete set with bulb for 100 dolllars. my question is would i be able to flwoer 6 2ft plants under it with good results? anybody know where i can get a cheap hps light?
This is a security light so you'd have to wire it to a plug. Instructions here
Very easy to do and I don't know a thing about wiring.
I'd say do a 4 plant scrog like this guy (prepare to drool). He used a 150w hps in a small cab and his shit rivals (maybe even tops) ppl with 400w and more.
I'm hearing from experienced growers that metal halide is good for vegging, and HPS is good for flowering. Maybe you could find out if there's a hydroponic gardening supply store in your area and check their prices. Also, you might check out what you can order online; might try http://[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]www.htgsupply.com for example.
