More light the better, but I have done well with a 400w HPS never heard of a 430w HPS tho...?

Yea man. 430 sounds random but the extra lumens couldnt hurt right...is this a grow light or just a regular hps fixture? Like a flood light?
Either way should be good! Just look into maximizing that light. Id flower freshly rooted clones or 12/12 from seed. You probably be able to squeeze a couple more plants in there that way.

probable older sun system 1. I have one. Your 430 is only good for about 2' of penetration more than that and your buds will be light and airy.

the extra 30W is definitely not a fan^^^^the 430 is a great bulb including more blue spectrum for better growth. If you want size then you'd probably wanna start with a 600.

Eight plants, get a 1000 , or atleast a 600 sog style. and get a 250, 400, 600, or 1000 watt light(lights). Dont settle for those 430s. They seem like theyre high.
