You may wanna look into the 12/12 from seedling method.There is a thread here somewhere on it I was reading.Think I'm gonna try that next.Smaller plants but you get results faster and can fit more plants under the lights.All you need is the HPS.

And you measurements make no sense...1foot by 2foot by 6foot? or was that supposed to be 10x12x6?

i got a 1000 watt conversion bulb HPS ballast -> MH bulb and i works perfect, its a SunMax or something? not sure, but conversion bulb are kinda expensive, i could of bought a mh ballast for the price of my bulb ($100) but then i would need another bulb and reflector and i thought a conversion bulb would be less hassle.
