It would depend on the wattage of the fluorescent tubes. As a rough estimate, you would need about 6-8 standard 40-watt fluorescent tubes to approximate the light output of a 1000-watt metal halide bulb.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
Metal-halide light is helpful for plant growth and is often used for indoor plant growing applications. Metal-halide lights produce blue-frequency light. They can provide the temperature , as well as the spectrum of light that encourages plant growth.
Metal Halide lights are generally brighter than mercury vapor lights. Metal halide lights produce a higher quality and more natural light, making them a popular choice for outdoor lighting in stadiums, parking lots, and other large commercial spaces. Mercury vapor lights tend to have a bluish-green tint and are less bright compared to metal halide lights.
The "salt" you are referring to is actually called silver-halide and are more commonly known as "silver salts". When silver-halide crystals are exposed to light, they form a compound known as "metallic silver"
No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
Incandescent, fluorescent LED, metal halide, halogen, HID (high intensity discharge), etc.

Metal halide, incandescent, fluorescent and LED are just some of the lights used to provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun. This will aid in the growth of the plants.

The question isn't what you're powering with a particular gauge of wire, but what's the current draw. If the metal halide light can run on a 15 Amp breaker (from the breaker panel), fine use your metal halide in your residential application and run it on the 14 gauge wire.
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
