the most important thing for a grow is security....sounds like giving the plant to a bro is the best bet

growing in a closet i would suggest a 90 watt ufo led light , The 90 watt led light will produce up to 600 watts of lumes light and no heat ,comes with cooling fan built in.

cost about $750 per light at a hydroponic store ,but can order online for $350.

Hps lights last about 6 months LED light will last for 50,000 hours or about 10 years.

600 watts is good for a 4x4 space plants love the intense light just keep the tops from overheating

Sounds like a little excitement on your side of the world

Right now I have a 1000w hps in a 4X4X6 space. I think its filling the space out nicely

Ok Im not gonna write a novel like sum of these dudes. I mean your question was lighting for a 3f by 3ft space. My advice is go to walmart and buy thier 2ft grow light they sell for about 10 bucks. Buy 3 or 4 and tape together. That will be all you need . You cant use a 400w hps or mh light in that amount of space it will fry your plants. You might get away with a 250 with proper ventalation. Geez you guys get sum sense lolololol. Well unless u got a hood equiped with a fan but still you need about a foot to foot and 1/2 space between a 400w hps light or you will get soggy or burnt leaves .. And you gotta have space between the ceiling and your bulb for fire hazards. So what are ya gonna do ?? you wanna start budding at 4 inches ??? LMAO !!You can bud with flourescents but your buds will be lighter and fluffier than hid lights but if you got 3ft by 3ft thats about all you can do. The main thing is choosing a good color spectrum for your purpose. Vegging should be about 6500k to 8000k.

Ya buy an led if you want scrawny buds and a sick lookin plant. LEDS suck dont fall for the scam.

led is ok for vegg but not for flowering from all the grows I have seen with them
