go for 400 watts for a couple plants.
150 too small for multiple plants.

150 mh will work for veg granted you dont veg forever. Better off just getting a 400 and switching out bulbs. Or get a magnetic ballast and a cmh bulb. Havent used them but supposedly work well and you only need one. I have two 150s that will more than likely never be used again haha.

would you be worried about a computer staying on 24/7? (500w +)

how about 2 of them?

toaster is 600w often (i could go on and on)

mine draws 600, most draw 500, many up to 700 or more though.

thats without the screen.

just the screencard nowadays is probably 150w´s or more.

im in a tiny apartment and i draw about 1000 watts for my grow room. done so for 2 years at my location.

i had to send my plant into flowering before it was fully mature due to height issues, will this greatly affect my yield?
