For veg you can't beat fluorescents. A 4 foot, 4 tube T5HO would do the trick and it's only about a $100 investment.T8's are cheaper, but put out a shit ton more heat. Either way, you'll want to focus on ventilating that space. Passive intake, and exhaust, or it's just not even worth trying to grow indoors. If you can't regulate your temps, don't even bother IMO.

try a 20,000 watt metal halide, I think 20k watt digital ballasts are $7500 and the lamp itself is around $1900. You need to get a liquid nitrogen cooled hood that costs about $3k(plus gas) also but considering you will be producing 18-22 pound plants, this is a worthwhile investment.

400 watt MH threw veg HPS for flower,actually you can use both for veg and they don't cost your whole life savings,can get a kit off ebay 400 watt both MH &HPS with light hood and carbon filter for about 140.
