Would a 150 watt HPS into an enclosed space (2-3' height, 2-3' length, 2-3' width) Be safe to install? Would it produce a ripe and plump growth? it creates 16,000 lumens. *****

You want at least 50 watt per square foot.

Yes this would work but your going to have to have very good ventilation to get rid of the heat and train the plants to grow wide and not tall.

I used to run one in my 3 foot tall 1 foot deep 2 foot wide box. I used one of those pc fans wired to an ax adapter.
In the winter time it ran about 78 degrees in the box. But its worth mentioning the door didn't close perfectly.

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?
