It'll make a difference but you're plants won't burn as easy.
A fan blowing on the bulb will lower temps.
I'm thinking of building a 3' wide plywood octagonal cabinet . 4' tall, with three tiers of single cola plants grown at a 45 degree angle to the 2 vert 150s one up one down. Eight walls, holding 6 plants each, two per tier. 48 plantrs total in leaning 5" pots with coco/pearlite hand watering. bamboo steaks will be used to train the colas toward the light. The 150s should take care of 3 vertical feet as I've had success with 2' and one 150. the furthest point from a lamp is <1', this will give the clones ~14" of space at the 45. Hoping to hit 5g per and get an HP
Any thoughts? I have to put up my shitty paintbrush rough-cut plans

Seems like that require A LOT of work OrgAeroMan. It would be much easier to just use a single 250w and yield higher in that same sized space. Hell, you could probably pull off a vert 400w in that space. Good idea in theory, but I don't think it would be worth the extra hassle. I did vert 150w in a 16x18x28 space and I had a fan directly below the light like DB said to control temps. I tried the glass shield with a horizontal bulb and it just didn't work for me.
Keep that 150w as close to the plants as you can. A little burn on the fan leafs causes no significant harm and is worth all the extra light the remainder of the plants get. No need to worry about fires or anything. They won't actually touch the bulb if you have proper cooling.
More shots of vert 150 in that small space.

I too have grown with a single vert 150, the results were great. I believe this would yield the best for 2 150s. The light coverage would be more even than a single 250 or 400. Also, keep in mind the pots/plants will be tilted at a 45 degree angle toward the lamps, maximizing space and growing toward the lamps instead of around it. They seem to shade themselves with the leaf photo-tropisms associated with vert sog. The plants should finish <4" from the lamps. This will also encourage a healthier stretch, I believe, as it seems difficult to get much height with traditional vert sog. Are you talking about hand watering the plants being difficult? I have a small submersible pump that makes it a breeze.
So I had upgraded to a 400 for a while but I have since moved and need to downsize to continue growing. I picked up a small tent and a carbon filter online last night and should be getting them in a week or less. I will be pulling the 150 out of storage and dusting it off. Not sure if I want to go vert again or what but we will see. I am pretty excited to get something going here and I have a few strains vegging already so I have a head start. I will be posting picks and updates as they happen. So 150 club...I AM BACK
Welcome back, BT. What were your 400 yields like?
Here's one Arctic Storm (just flipped to 12/12).

Not that great honestly. Cab layout was pretty crappy very wide and not much depth so they werent centered under the light well. My GPW actually went down significantly from what I was getting with the 150. GPW around .31 or about 4.5 oz off 4 plants 4 different strains in 3 gal grow bags of FFOF mixed with additional perlite and worm castings. Used FF Big Bloom, BS molasses, and Neptunes Harvest Trio.
Edit: Pics in my albums if interested. I didnt get too many harvest shots tho and I dont know if I even uploaded any.
hallo im willy bibbit im gonna try to show my 150 watts hps growroom

my name is willy bibbit i am 50 years old from frisia and i grow pot
since i was 23 years old.
im a member of the 150w hpsclub for a couple of years now and this is my
first post in wich i will try to show some pics
just to practice and learn it.
the picture you see is my current grow of 5 sorts of weed
northern lights , top 44 , shack/smm ,maroc and mexican sativa
i the seedlings were born on the 17 august 2011.
i grow em directly under the hps at 12/12 system.
which i always do otherwise seedplants grow to high for my closet.
the pics you see of the bigger plants are harvested and smoked
already but i told you i have to learn how to put the pics where i want
them.
i will tell you more soon.
keep em green

i dont know how i can get the pictures
in the right place but there here .
the seedlings are 10 days old under 12 /12 .
their doing well.
they grow in 90 litres of soil with a drainage to give them water
from below.
i give them rainwater .
the fertilizers are in the soil already batguano , chickenshite,rockdust ,bonedust ,bacterials and 30 earthworms .
