i am thinking of getting a 150 watt hps system for a little closet without very much much space, i am wondering how close i can have this light to the tops of the plants without burning them?

As many plants as you can fit in a 4x4 area. Have fun!

How big do you want to grow them? Smaller you flower them = smaller pot (bucket/soil) size = more plants but less bud.
