It will work well, for a ittle while until the plants outgrow the lights in a few weeks. Countless growers have tried this and the plants start off well but quickly fizzle out and get thin/lanky. If you are handy at all with your hands and simple wiring (no soldering), you can buy some decent 50 watt modules that only need a cheap heatsink and 110V... about $10 if you put the heatsink on yourself (usually comes with the screws needed). The newer modules have built in drivers and don't need a lot of the old equipment needed, just hook up to 110VAC, attatch to heatsink, and let it shine. There are also a bunch of really cheap ready made lights that will work OK as well. Enjoy your experiments but you will need a LOT more light to have a sucessful plant.
Keep up the good work!

Good planning! Make sure to have a good drain, plenty of power (ideally on a separate circuit), and good ventilation... ventilation being very important because you will be getting very stinky and the humidity buildup might be a problem. Depending on the size of the room, a furnace blower might be better than the smaller inline fans. They work for a small tent but a large room often overwhelms them!Thank you yes, well aware of this factor!
I have a real more powerful grow light already , but this is a little more fun.
One this is set up right, I'll have 14 bulbs running, until I finish building my other house where I've built a dedicated below ground grow room, this will suffice :)

Take a look at these. This is the ones that are super simple to put together yourself with a cheap heatsink. If you have a fan to blow over them it is even beter. Here is an Eay link, but they are available everywhere in various colors and powers, hooking up to any ACvoltage between 85 and 220 volts, For $10 you get a great area light!
I still prefer HID myself, but LEDs are making serious advances in efficiency and color availability. They make some nice UV LEDs out there too, but they are a little pricier.
