pretty large area. might go for a 600w dimmable ballast

You can get a hood and a 1000 hps for that much money,box is big enough.
Another 60 or so for a eco 440 cfm fan and you'll actually be able to grow enough weed to make it worth the effort and expenditure.

go with at least a 400watt, i got mine off eBay for a 119+shipping 150.00 total might even need 2 of them for that area

This. You can also get 600w dimmable to 400w lumatek ballasts for $180 or a 1000w dimmable to 600 for like $50 more. Just make sure you get a good vented hood and fan.

You have enough space for a 1000w light if you want.
My opinion, 250 watts will cover about 15"x24" grow area. A 400w 24"x36", 600w 36"x 42", 1000w 48" x 60"
I think the best lighting would be two 600w lights side by side about two feet apart in the center. You could pull pounds.
