If i were you i would get a 400w hps. or if uwant to go super cheap u couldget cfls. like six of each daylight and sof white bulbs. which would all equal up to probably the same price as a 400w hps with ballast.

How big are you going to let the plants get ?
What exactly is your space available ?

cfl's work well small, and they're a cheap way to start
the bigger you get, the more expensive it gets to cover plants in cfl's

i think he meant if you are going to VEG use Mh (metal halide) as opposed to using Hps for flowering..
