Actually, a 250w MH would be just the right size for vegging 1-4 plants. That's the size light I have.

Standard rules of thumb are 1 plant per sq foot and 50-70w of light per square foot, so 4 plants = 4 sq feet = 62.5w per sq ft for a 250w lamp. You could start up more than 1-4 seedlings but 4 would be about the limit for vegging them out nicely.
