Honestly... you are better off just getting a 250 watt hps system with bulb, ballast, and reflector. Just use the 250 watt system for all stages of grow. Perfect for that small of a space. I use a 400 watt system for 9 square feet of grow. The hps does a great job for veg and flower as long as you buy the special "grow" bulb which outputs more lumens than a regular bulb plus more red and blue spectrum for all stages of grow. Also the homebox would be fine and it would keep all the light locked in so you get maximum use of your lamp. I use a hydrohut mini and it is great at keeping the light in and keeping light out. :thumbsup:
