    Yes.
    However, it would only adequately illuminate (for growing purposes) 3 sq/ft, and that's if the bulb is new.

    Sounds perfect, but you would need to train the plants in some way. 150w of any kind of light just doesn't have that great of penetration to the lower canopy. You'll need to get some good ventilation going too. I have a 400w mh and it gets really hot if I turn all the fans off.
