Is 150W HPS worth it in this situation...

I'm growing in a stealth box that's 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. It currently fits 3 plants with only a bit of room. Right now, I've got 3 fluorescent lights (one directed at each plant). I'm curious if 150W HPS and the 3 original fluorescent lights be enough light for the plants to get them to bud nicely.

Also, would 400W be too much for this?

u need to get big deep pots for one and that space is good for one plant look at my 2x2x6 and it holds one.Next grow will be mh veg 4x4 6 plants one 400 w mh veg and i'm already flowering with 400w hps oh and i'm now in bigger pots.but 150 w will do 3 small plants much better in flower that than 15 of those cfl's and it is much cooler my 400 is only 8 fingers away from top of my plants and have no prob.think lumens,lumens are based on or measured 1ft off top of canopy so 50,000 lumens at 1ft is 100,000 lumens at 6in and is only 25,000 lumens at 18in and thats should help on the light to choose from hps is it.good luck bro!!!
