Light suggestions

I threw together a quick grow tent this weekend as a seed I had is starting to take off. I had the tent already and just grabbed what I could around the house to get it going. I currently have a 150W something in a crummy housing I had for my turtle. Im only looking to grow 3 plants in my 32X32X63 grow tent. I have done some research as far as lighting goes, but didn't know if anyone had any suggestions. IM not looking to spend a lot now as this if my 1st grow, but I plan on keeping this as a hobby since its now legal in my state and would be ok with upgrading down the road. The small plant is the one I started from seed the other 2 are clones I picked up for nothing when I was at the shop yesterday.

400w hps setup should flood that area with light but with that comes 400w of heat so you got to get fans and ducting and all those goodies but if your set on keeping your grow going it'll be well worth it and if you had the budget check out LEC 315

I'd still recommend a small inline fan + carbon filter if it gets stinky, plus the fan will keep air moving and humidity down so less chance of mold.

ok I'm pretty sure i mentioned the fan and ducting and it probably won't end there plus i believe the filter is optional i like my house smelling like dank
 
Thanks for the suggestions i will be adding the Lec 315 to my upgrade list which keeps growing..
Ended up going with a cheap 200Watt right now with plans to upgrade down the road (but thinking I'm going to run into a humidity problem). My next purchase will be inline fan and carbon filter as my main goal is keeping this from smelling up the house. What a world of difference lights can make..
