well with 1000 smackers i say a 400 or 600 watt in maybe a cooltube buy a nice ex fan so u dont have to worry about the heat to much..i dont know about heat in such a small space but with a good fan 200cfm+ i think u can get it under control..good luck and peace...

yea an HPS with a vented hood would work great...in that space a 400w maybe a bit much....maybe a 250 with some vertical t5's that would be the shit! all depends on how you are planning one using the space...but if you can veny easily a vented HPS would be good

for a grand you can make a decent perpetual hydro grow. and playing with that kind of money you shouldn't have to cut any corners.

I had a small grow room first time around, and I used 2 45 watt CFL bulbs. They surprisingly worked wonders for vegetative state, the largest benefit is not much heat is being produced and also you don't need as efficient of a ventilation system. As for flowering I'm not sure if the lack of light will affect your yield..most likely but if you got two plants you should still get a fair of amount of bud. These bulbs are very inexpensive, and do not use much elecctricity. Best of luck too you mate!

I think cfls would be your best bet for the space... hps is better heat would def be an issue
