A nice array of cfls will get you a respectable yield. Ph'ing and feeding your plants right goes along way toward a respectable yield as well. And if you scrog, or LST your plants, that will increase your yields also. HIDs definitely rock the shit though, just need proper ventilation. If you plan on getting a six foot cab eventually, you may want to get something more powerful than a 250w.

Ok here is the deal.....below is a picture of my 3' tall cabinet and the 250w hps system i am considering buying...I have this idea where what i will do is cut a square in the top of the cabinet so that my HPS reflector can fit snug right over the hole....the ballast will be at the top of the closet on a shelf about 3 feet above the growbox....i have two fans 120mm computer fans already installed in the box one at the base of the plants and the other at the top of the box....not comming out the Rating: 5
