What type of HPS light do I need for flowering? I need a cheap HPS light that will screw into a regular light socket. One plant grow. Any ideas?

No HPS will screw into a regular socket, you need a special fixture and a ballast. You're looking at at least about $100-120 for a startup 250-400watt hps setup. Check out htgsupply.com

If you have to keep the HPS down due to heat and space you will get a small plant, this is one possibility, but this about as cheap as you're going to get going with a small HPS.

It's 70W of HPS.

There are other options abailable with these small HPS lights - I found this doing a search at Ace Hardware.

I totally agree! The money you put into these gives very poor results.

The next best thing to do is also get a good digital ballast with a good reputation.
Less heat, some claim 30% more light.
