    please look at my tent and help with some questions

    Hello,

    my brother and i built this in my basement yesterday. it is 5' x 4.5' x 6' (length x width x height) i have never grown pot before, nor do i(or him) even smoke. i want to know what type of lighting should i get.

    i would like a HPS because i read it is really good but it produces a lot of heat. i think that is good due to the fact that during the winter time(now), my basement is a bit cool(not cold). and during the summer it is pretty cool as well. so i dont think heat will be too big of an issue. how many watts should i look at for a growing space this size?

    but if i do not go with an HPS/MH, i am very interested in getting an LED. i really want to go with haight solid state 800 since it uses very little electricity consumption. here are the specs:

    800W HPS replacement
    The ideal size for flowering/fruiting of full sun loving plants
    Covers approximately 2 sq meters (50 x 60 inches)
    31 - 6W LEDs
    Red, blue and white LEDs for a complete spectrum
    Uses only 190W typical
    Separate High/Low power control for blue/white and red
    120V indoor use only
    15 x 20 x 1 inch

    this light will be good(atleast i believe, from what ive read) from the moment the seed is planted until it is fully matured with buds.

    so my questions are... what light should i go with? a HPS/MH or this LED?

    if i go with the LED, how will i keep my tent heated during these winter months, since LEDs produce very little heat?

    how many plants can i grow in a tent this size with either a MH(please reccoment a watt) or LED?

    if i go with this LED, should i imagine i will get a decent amount of bud each harvest?

    lastly.. sorry if i didnt make much sense, i typed this extremely quickly

    forgot pics..taken with my phone, so not such good quality..

    edit* in the second picture to the right, it looks like there is a 2x4 leaning to the side. that is not attached to it, its just an extra piece i had from a previous project.
