Deadly Fear

Hi all! I had a bagseed grow in my closet last year that was pretty successful under a 600w light. I am attempting nearly the same thing this year with some Hashberry but have a few questions.
1. I recently accidentally killed a grow by using MG Organic (not sure which bag, think it was green) for my seedlings which killed them. It seemed to be too hot. I was going to start with regular potting soil this time and then transfer to one of the Fox Farm brands. Does this sound ok or is there a FF I can start them in right away?
2. Last time I had a friend's 600w, this time I have a different friend's 400w but the bulb is old and I am going to replace it. Does this PlusRite 600w look ok? The price is really good, not sure if that reflects on quality or if 1000bulbs is just that cheap. I'm looking to spend around 50, so if that's not good please recommend some alternatives.
I thought I had more questions but I can't think of any, I'll add more as they come. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Forgot to add that the closet is 5.5 x 3.75 x 5.5
EDIT 2: Here is the light that I have more or less http://www.hydroponicsoutlet.com/Sun-System-2-400W-HPS-p/900512.htm
-May not be the exact one but it's close. Will check tonight to make sure.
