What are they dude, Indica,Sativa?
Just cut your veg a bit and keep your lights close to your plants to stop them from stretching to the light and that should keep the nodes tight together.
It will depend a lot on your strain too tho!

Perfect strai if your not wanting a tall plant, you'll def get away with vegging 4 - 6 weeks as long as you don't experience any stretching.
Just keep the lights as close as possible to the canopy without stressing or burning your plants.
You should be sound and have lovely plants.
Def think about a higher wattage HPS
A 250 would be good for your grow dude, or if you want to spoil yourself for x-mas you could go all out with a 400watt..
You'll def see the reward in your final product mate.

What size is your flower area and what ventilation have you got dude?

Three 150w HPS lamps will give you more even coverage, so I would choose that option if you have the ceiling space to do it up.

Sounds sweet dude should do the job for you.
for that you could get 2 x 250watt HPS lights
These ones have spectacular results and you can change the bulds to different wattage you also can change bulb to m/h for vegging with this system if you wanted.

If your over in america your best bet would be a local hydro store or E-bay..
Here's a site you can look up things on like lights and stuff so you know what your looking for and asking for in your stores, the prices are in sterling but don't mind that as it's probably cheaper to buy in america anyway dude...
www.abergreen.co.uk
Check it out dude, really good site to have a look at products

sadly overhere there's no hydro stores, I think I'm gnna end up getting 3 of those 150w hps so I'll have each one directly over each plant, and there super cheap 20 bucks with ballast bulb and socket, and I'll throw in some 2100k cfl's on the sides of the plants

I can see where your going being that bit cost effective, but even if you don't have hydro stores you are def better off going with the HPS and shade full system, it includes ballast and everything, they can be picked up cheap enough on E-bay, Man you should def look into them cause they are very high yields..

Depends on what watt bulb your going to go for, with a 400watt HPS like those ones i was showing you, you would only need one of them for that amount of plants,Definately fit all your plants comfortably with planty of light getting to them.
