Ok guys so i can really only afford to purchase one lighting system, and wanted to know what you guys think i should go for... I will probably be growing in a portable/canvas wardrobe...

At first i was going to buy a CFL reflector (e40 fitting), and use a 250watt self ballasted metal halide from start-finish... Note i will only be growing 1 or 2 plants

However i recently found a cheap ballast that can power both metal halide and hps... Altho its only 150watt, but this will let me use hps for flowering

Which should i go for? By just buying the cfl reflector i can use a 250watt MH for veg and a same or higher power red CFL for flowering, plus its cheaper- are red CFLs honestly good for flowering... How would they compare to a 150w hps?
