HPS work very well for vegetative growth. Halides work better, but the HPS will work just fine for you.

How many lumens do each of your bulbs produce? Once I know that, I can tell you how many square feet of area you can grow with them.

darnit i feel like a idiot. my bulbs don't work with the lamps i bought. what is wrong here? they fit inside the lamp and i know the lamps work but why won't my lights turn on?

What kind of lamp man?
It HAS to be an HPS ballast and mogul socket to run an HPS bulb.
