Can I grow annuals successfully?

| I have some options for lighting in my house. I have a 1000W MH, as well as a 400W MH, can I grow annuals successfully under these lights? The reason I ask is that I collected some seeds that I would like to start right now. If I can successfully grow them inside, I would like to try. How close to full sunlight do these lights give me? Thanks everyone.
ps....I will probably add a 400W HPS for flowering if need be.

| A metal halide can exceed the intensity of direct sunlight if you get close enough. Your plants would all die of course! Anyway, you should be able to flower maybe 30-50 square feet of annuals with one or both bulbs. |
