Hey all! I'm setting up my first grow room now. I have a nice sized closet that I'm workin with....3 x 3.5 x 5.5 (effective grow height since there is a big shelf). I've decided on two plants max since these will be strictly for personal use. I've lined the closet with emergency blankets (mylar baby!). So, here's the question: what kind of lighting should I be going for? Will one 400W HPS be sufficient for veg and flower? Should I be using CFLs for veg and switch to the HPS for flower? What kind of lumens and wattage should I be aiming for for both veg and flower? I really want to do this right the first time, and I'm kinda overwhelmed by the lighting issues, so ALL suggestions are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks guys and girls!

P.S. COST is an issue...I'm working on a very limited budget here (poor college kid).
