I'm 18, and FINALLY moving into my own apartment... I have been a member of RIU for almost 2 years and in that time i have learned so much i amaze myself, and for that i owuld like to take the time to say THANK YOU ROLL IT UP YOU FRIGGEN RULE WITHOUT YOU I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I WAS DOING=]. Anyways, in those two years i've experimented alot, grown alot (plants and as a person), and i've been caught alot doing so... So after two indoor grows that were caught by the parentals, one outdoor that was wrecked by god knows what, and 2 living female outdoor plants as we speak; I'm ready to grow indoors and im ready to do it RIGHT.
Now my conditions might not be ideal, but that's not the problem, all i want to do is be able to generate between 5-7g/week average, because that is enough to keep me away from schemeing drug dealers cause im really FUCKING tired of getting my money stolen... 1800, 1450, and 725 just to name some of the more painful incidents... I MEAN CMON A GUN OVER 1800? be a business man FFS... i could have built a LEGIT grow room for all that loot, but i digress, anyways, I have decided that PC growing is the way to go for me, i just have a few questions..... I have narrowed the field down to 3 boxes... they are-

I REALLLLLY like the two by homegrown hydroponics and am leaning towards the 799$ one that is a hydroponic setup for between 4 and 6 plants... it comes with a 105w CFL bulb and i was wondering if i could replace that with either a 75 or 150w HPS bulb without using a ballast...
The only qualms that i have with the Homegrown hydro setups are that they do not seem to be sealed as well as the PC growcase is (so is there something i could buy that would work? or just duct tape every gap and spray paint it all matte white?). But i'm not worried about the seal leakin Smell because i will be using multiple ONA bricks so i know i have nothing to worry about. I am worried about LIGHT getting out, because i need to be as efficient as possible... Because realistically i expect not more than 30g's every cycle if i do everything right(and we all know shit happens), and that's with the 4-6 plant setup... if i get the 2-3 plant setup ill be happy with 1/2oz a cycle... I plan on using fox farm nutes, the full hydroponic kit, with there ph up/down, if they dont make one ill just grab a random one.
I have no problem spending the money upfront because iw ant to make a quality product in the end.
So the question is, what do you guys think looks the best, or which would you choose? Any grow box around the size of a computer case will fly, i am not exactly the most patient person in the world so building one is almost out of the option unless its extremely simple... Also what would be the best method of grow medium? i'm 99.999999% sure hydroponic with the little stone things is the best way to go, and using a pond fogger if i can afford one, but you never know what new tech only a few people know about... And, Is the replacement of the 105w CFL plausable/necessary?? The box by pcgrowcase comes with 4 35w CFL's if i'm not mistaken... So which would be the best? a) the 105w CFL, b) the 4 35w CFL's(this option applies only to the PCGROWCASE and if your wondering why i dont slap 4 75w HPS's in there there just isnt enough room to put em in sadly...), c) the 75w HPS, d) the 150w HPS...
Now please, dont just say the 150w hps because its the biggest, i dont want to burn my plants to a crisp and am truely clueless as to what would be the best...
Oh... and if you know of something better that i missed please let me know. Happy toking *-.HErBAVORe.-*
