That light should do fine, obviously more is better if you can control heat. I would get 5"-6" pots, get premium soil (organic would probably be the best bet; foxfarm) there are plenty of good soils and nutes out their just try to find the one that works best for your financial situation and experience level. I wouldn't go overboard on spending on nutes for a system that small, it won't increase your yields or quality by a greatly significant amount. Just take good care of them and they will reward you for it. Good luck.

thanks a fan at the top of the box would be best right? to pull the hot air out?

yes you want to exhaust through the top and get a fan inside blowing on the plants and the light. If you can somehow get an aircooled reflector or cooltube it will help you greatly and be much easier to control temps, but it is almost impossible to find 150w units that come equipped with these and they can be kinda expensive $70-100+ to purchase seperately.

I don't know anything about auto-flowering strains as far as switching the light cycle goes, seems to me that if they really do auto flower they should tell you when you can switch to 12/12, generally you want to switch when there 1/2-1/3 there expected finish size. Why don't you leave them outside if you have that option?
