If you want dense juicy nugs I would go 150-250 hps for one plant LED just can't compete with hid.Just my two cents

Your best bet would b CFL's say about 100w, actual watts not eqiv, that should just about do 1 plant , But when you flower you gonna need a bit more.

definitely go with a HPS for that size space
a 150w can be had for about $70 a 250w for around $100, cheaper if 2nd hand.
youll need an exhaust fan of around 100cfm and a small oscillating or desk fan.
you could do 4 small plants in that space with a 250w and yield around 2-4oz easily.
