4 x 8 x 9 that could be a good size grow. 200 is not much to spend but I know how that goes. I don't know how to put a link up but have found a 250 watt switchable mini high pressure sodium for flower and you could put a metal halide in it for veg if needed. hxxp://xxx.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?pid=336&navid=41

Put the t's and w's where they should go. One of my bro's has a 250 and does very well for himself. You will not get an once a plant on the light from an areogarden, if so I would like to see proof. Most of us have a hard time getting that from Hps. general rules are 0.5 grams per watt of light.

Meatl halide or compact clf's or flouresence are good for veggation. They put out the blue spectrum.
High pressure sodium are for flower. they put out more red spactrum.

Small hydroponics can be setup cheap but it's the things you need to go with it. Like PH pen and TDS pen and nutrients and PH up and down that cost.

If the light comes off the top of the areo I would flower that first under a 250 HPS and see how it goes. Ventilation is a must to keep the temps down. Cool air in hot air out. a small fan blowing across the tops of the plants.

In that room I would have a 1000 watt light and about 18 plants hydro system of your choice. end results would be about 3 foot plants, start flowering about 18 inches and they double size in flower. A good harvest of well over a pound maybe 2. enough for a year in one grow.

An once of chronic buds last me about a month as meds, depends on the strain.
