no save up $150 and get a 400W MH. Go from there.

ahh flourescent lights will be fine for the veg period.. just make sure you have enough money for a High Pressure sodium light for the flowering stage.

you could buy 2 seperate lights(mh/hps), or you can just buy an hps. it will work for both veg and flower.

First how big is your grow area?
2x2 100 watts
3x3 250
4x4 400
6x6 600
8x8 1000

3x3 250 = 27w/sqft
4x4 400 = 25w/sqft
6x6 600 = 17w/sqft
8x8 1000 = 16w/sqft
Sorry, Lady, I need to interrupt your excellent answer. (Life Lesson, guys: when correcting a woman always compliment her several times first
)
I added the w/sqft info in your quote to easily show what we need to look for in lighting a crop. The amount of watts that you are putting over each foot of canopy space is the easiest way to compare lighting. And we know from experience that you need at least 40w/sqft to grow decent plants to maturity.
Yeah, Mogie, I laughed out loud at that kid in the basement playing video games comment! he he
