lighting

I can get a 150w HPS light for $55.
Is this worth it? I'm only growing 3 right now on cfl.
Would this be a good addition?

I use a 150 hps right now and get about 2 oz. every 60 days or so. You wont get huge plants or yeilds but it works for the smalltime grower like me.
 
WELL thank you!!!!! that's what i needed to know! this is my first grow and i was wondering if it would be beneficial to also keep the cfls..... while using the 150w hps.. or if it'd be a waste of electricity..
 
is running one 150w hps very expensive? I don't want a major jump in my electrical bill but i don't mind a little one.. do you know first hand about how much it costs to run it on a 18/6?
