For flowering on a budget you need Compact Floresents, the screw in type, of the 3000Kelvin or so light spectrum. They may also say Spring or Warm light.

in a nutshell.
unless the plants are huge, you can fit more than 2 under a 400w HPS.
You can get CFLs just about anywhere that sells light bulbs, Home Depot, Walmart, whatever...
CFLs you want to have within a few inches of the plants. The HPS you'll want to keep a couple of feet away. Stick your hand at the top of the plants. If it's uncomfortably hot for you, it's too hot for the plants.
i hear the hps can get extremly hot i only got 2 fans going in my grow room and i can't afford to put like a a/c in there .even tho my garage does not get very hot it actually stays pritty cold and there is a window in there that i keep open to let more air in and out should i still get the hps?

you can put 400 watt hps within 1' of the top of your plants. Start at 2' them move the light down a couple inches a day until its at 1'. Won't take long cause the plants will grow up to meet you. Then move it up with them as they grow.
