I'd get at least a 400 watt HPS. That should be more then enough. What's your closet look like? That's a good place to do it if you can. Heat issues probably won't be nearly as bad.

I'm using a 400 watt MH right now for vegging. Check out my grow journal, I just added it today. It's in my sig...

It's probably around 1.5X1.5 and 5 feet high. At least that's the space left in there. I'll have to get a black out curtain though. Should I just use some black trash bags or buy something from lowes.

My room has a window and a ceiling fan plus i would get 1 or 2 fans. You think that's good. Maybe i should downgrade to 150W? or is that weak?

you'll have trouble keeping that small space cool with a 400w HID but once you can start growing in a bigger space you won't regret having it.

I think no mater what wattage HID you go with, you will probably run into heat issues. If you can't keep that shit ventilated very well, do a cfl grow.
