A 150 Watt hps will grow 1-2 medium sized plants just fine, maybe have a couple cfls on the sides. You will see growth between 1/4th of a inch to 14 inches a week.

I had 3 under the 150 but seeds from bagseed, only 1 came out female, vegged it for 6 weeks on happy frog soil from fox farms then flowered for 8 weeks and maybe a week of flush and 2 weeks of drying and curing, i didnt use any grow method no lst etc and result was i got 35grams or more dried bud after the whole thing, shit tasted bomb.

What sort of growth should i see if done correctly?
How much growth should i see if i go 18/6 for 1 week?
maybe a few inches not much though but dont worry mine only grew like 10inches before flowering if not a foot at most then in flowering it grew lots to about a 2 and a half feet maybe less dont remember been awhile since that 150w grow i did. just make sure ur using good soil, keep temps lower than 90 yea ppl might say keep at 80 or so but it can take 90 easy, keep ok ventilation like a fan in the grow area and use nutes according to the shedule it says to and you'll be golden, just make sure u dont overdo the nutrients, remember less is more, like the charman commercial :D

Check out the AK-48 in my sig, was grown with a 150w HPS. total yield came out to a little over 3 oz. If your only vegging for 1 week expect your plant to be qute small. under two feet. i veg'd mine for 4 weeks, did some lst and the the whole thing came out at about 2 feet as well. if you have limited space, i would still go for atleast two weeks, but thats just my two cents.
