you can only grow 1 plant with a 150w hps?? i see people growing 6 plants with 2 150w hps. i was hoping for 2 or 3 with a 150w and i cant go any higher than a 150w light

I've been really happy with 6 plants under 2 150s.

Last fall I grew out 10 clones in a small SOG under a 70, with 2 cfls to supplement - each gave me a 1/4 oz cola.

dont even bother with 150's ,get at least a 400w.

I use a 400w in a very enclosed space. But i vent it correctly so i dont have heat issues.

Your just going to buy one in the future so why not bite the bullet and get the 400w.

I run an aircooled 430W Son Agro in a pretty small space. (2' x 2.5 ' x 7' -- and the 7' could get smaller w/u much impact.) I put four to six under it and am generally happy. Yields are very erratic for me as I'm a fan of Bagseed Surprise but the setup is fine.

Go to a 400 and a couple blower fans--one for the hood and one for the space--if you can. I would only use a 150W in very small cabinet or PC case setups, or to veg a single mother plant in her own cupboard, or something like that.

And the power it will save you is amazing not to mention the heat. I grow 12 plants under 2 lights and have had great success. I average almost 8 ounces every 4 months. And I never have a problem with heat like I did with mt 1000watt hps. My room stays constant 85 degrees. Home Depot also sells nice( Commercial grade) ceramic CFL light bulb sockets kits with nice aluminum reflectors and 8 foot 3prong cord for about $20 each. You can get setup for much less cost than a new 400watt HPS with its ballast.
That makes no sence....So your telling me this light coming out of a regular house socket with no ballast is gonna produce more light? Please explain how those generate enough power to make those lights brighter then an actual 400w grow light..They would cause the power to flicker and everything else in the house would run bad.

I just want explaination why you post false info and not even that ALOT of false info.
