I would reccomend purchasing a 400 watt hps ballast with a Sylvania 430 watt son agro bulb. This bulb is superior over other 400 watt hps bulbs on the market because of the added Blue spectrum.
I have used this bulb for many years in veg, and nothing comes close to the performance/growth rate of this fine bulb. It will work perfect from veg to harvest!!
Good luck!

a closet grow with 3 plants.... and you want to run a 400w hps?
your gonna need one helluva inline fan and some ducting to keep it cool.
i would suggest a 150w CMH (ceramic metal halide) and maybe supplement that with (2) 43w con agro cfl's
400w for a closet is some serious overkill in my opinion for just 3 plants... even on a scrog. its just too hot.

This is a good place to order from>>http://www.ecogrow.com/
Not sure if they carry the bulb..But, Iam sure you can order one from them.
May take a few extra days.
Dont settle for any other bulb. Its the *Goods* (Sylvania 430 son agro hps)

I think its feasible. The picture on my avatar was grown with a 430 watt son agro in a tiny closet with a fan attatched.
May have to open the door during the day, during the hot months.. It'll work.
