hey guys i just got a 150w hps light from a friend of mine after haveing a horrible first grow. anyways my question is, i have 2 150w cfls and one 150w hps. im thinking of starting a clone with the cfls and start the hps along with both cfls when im ready to flower. anyone got any input? also i was curious if the lighting would be able to support 2 plants? lastly im thinking of doing it in the scrog method but im iffy on the details of the scrog, do i need to trim all the bottom branches, how far should i place the lights from the canopy, and lastly whats the deal with the co2 containers, are they a necesity and if so how do i go about making one that is easy to operate? sorry for the long post but im tryin to get all my questions out of the way, thanks in advance for any and all help, you guys are saviors

Your lighting should be fine for 2 plants. you should put the lights close enough where you can check it with your hand and it doesn't feel too hot. if it will burn you it will burn the plants.
