Im also running a 150 HPS but I use spiral florencents for veg. To me the florencents work fine for veg I have never had a problem with them Id rather use them cause I like running em 18-20 hours a day instead of running my HPS which gets hotter and draws more energy I save it for the 12/12.

i'd go for summut a little bigger if i were you, i've just grown 2 bubblicious with a 400w hps all the way through and it was quality but i think i would have struggled with a 150... only a thought.
if you dont already have the light i would spend the extra cuz you will only want to upgrade as time goes on anyway. i'm already thinkin of adding a 600 for future grows.

i do have the light i used it for my other 2 but i was thinking about putting up 4 to 6 spirals the 6500k daylight ones.
i was thinking about buyin 3 or 4 more 150s cause they are cheap i buy mine from fleet farm.

haha i got a 400w hps floodlight and modified it... cost me £50 (UK) not sure what that is in $$ but its cheap.
as far as i'm aware you can add up wattage but not lumens so just take that into account when choosing lights.

ah good point glad you said something about that. here i would have been adding lights and lights that wouldn't have done anything... so up the size in the hps? should be fine with the spirals?

Im about ready to purchase lights for my grow as well, but i cant decide what to go with
Ill be in a 4.5x2 closet, and i dont want heat to be an issue, and i think that a 400w HPS may be too much, so im thinking about going with a 150w hps.
Im going for 4 Poison Dwarfs. flowering at a time (AutoFlower)
What do you think i should do? Can i pull off 4 under a 150?
