Thanks Gypsy! 
I'm stuck with CFL's for now, but in the next couple of months I'm just gonna bite the bullet (and break the bank LOL) and get an HPS setup & inline fans for intake/exhaust. I was going to wait till we buy a house, but that could be a year from now. Just DO IT, right? 
Oh, and HTG is whose 150w HID I saw on eBay for $80 (w/free shipping). Just didn't remember which company was selling it. 
Same here, my friend! When I read your post in my email notification, my immediate thought was, "No, Fox! Too soon!" I'm glad Gypsy got to you before I did, cause he's been in this territory daily for a while so he knows his shit a lot more than I do. 
Just wait till we buy a house though.... I'll be growing trees like Gypsy's working on now! 
Hahaha, I know what you mean. When I get my house, which will be happening between today and 4 months from now, I will have a perpetual grow setup.
Harvesting, every 3 weeks, around a half-pound.
There is no one around here that puts out high quality bud, and I have a huge market to work with.
It's all gonna be a strict setup, small, not greedy. No encounters with the clients, just my best friend for the past 10 years.
This all started out when my buddy brought back some dank from Memphis. I smoked it and fell in love. From then on, I was like, "I am going to grow this shit, and we will all have some dank shit to be smoking all the time." Now I realize, I can do this and make a little extra cash to fix the house up with. Plus, it gives me some productive work to do when I'm bored, haha. I love plants... and video games... and airplanes.... hahaha!
Stealth cabs are the shit! and they don;t HAVE to be stealth, but it makes them even cooler...
I do a lot of searching on RIU and google and I have seen asome AMAZING results from well planned cabs...
a 250 hps is capable of producing 1 gram per watt under ideal conditions...
That's a half pound... if you do it right...
a 150 is a little weak for 1g/w...
That's crazy, but as long as the smoke isn't going to be harsh, I'm not too worried about flushing.
Bro... anyone that tries telling you that inhaling smoke is not harsh is full of shit....
SMOKE IS HARSH...
it's smoke... it makes you cough..
but I do agree that there is shit that burns your throat more than others...
I believe a cure is sufficient... if all went well in the grow...
I am not dissing a flush, it is a useful tool...
I just don't subscribe to starving my plant when I want her get fat.. make no sense to me to cause deficiencies at this critical stage...
But Bro...
That's just me...
I'm crazy... I live in bum fuck Egypt, I mean Alaska..
don't listen to me... do your own test...
make a little bubler DIY thing real quick and flush some and not others...
your own test is the best advice I can give you...
but I do agree that the majority of people flush...
...
have you ever noticed on an airliner that they always shut the cabin lights off on take off and landing?
you know why?
it's left over from the early days, when there was no door separating the cockpit from the cabin... and the glare would diminish the pilot's ability to see outside the aircraft...
yet... every take off and landing today is still done with the light off...
things that make you go hummmmm...
I say flushing has it's place in hydro, but the whole water only for two weeks...
I have a feeling that is from the soil days ... but we still do it... cause .... I dunno i's always ben that way..
I am soooo full of shit...
Dude,, do your own test... and it will end the story...
T asked me about it again yesterday, and I told him I've gotta get through my first harvest before I can take the next step. 
He said when he gets home he'll get me more stuffesses I'll need to be able to grow enough for myself and still be able to sell a bit on the side to a dispensary. BUT, there won't be "great" yield until we can buy a house and have a much better setup going. One step at a time!
