I use a small plastic cabinet from Suncast with 4 home depot bought 150w CFL's which are rated 2700 lumens each and 1 home depot bought 300w CFL which is rated at 4200 lumens. All on individual sockets hanging vetically, a 250cfm inline fan for exhaust blowing through a Carbonaire filter. 0 smell-10 plants 3.0z every 85 days
Here is a link to the enclosure-check it out. I've got $160 in the box itself and $120 in the ducting and filter.

Thanks for the advice, but I've got a perfect cab design already if I had the option of spending a few hundred bucks. It is a custom built cab, 2'x2'x5', 150w HPS, proper venting & filtering & I would have 4 continuous strains of fem autoflowers. My estimate is I would yield 2oz every 2 weeks.
 
DFW-Guy, cool beans bro, looking forward to the pics. We might start flushing Jamaican No.2 on tuesday. Wed we could be trimming her. Just not sure yet. I want to continue putting her and No.1 outside if it stays sunny. Still smokin the electric fruitpuch, but looking forward to trying out the Jamaican soon! Great grow bro, hope your harvest is great as well.
 
Ok everyone here's a few pic updates. I need yalls opinions on something though. Remember how I had that one leaf that went to shit? Well now there are signs of other leaves becoming the same way. What should I do? Should I flush again even though my soil is a little wet still from the last flush 2 days ago? Sorry I can't give yall specifics, I don't have testing equip. and sorry but I'm not going to buy any. Will the problem go away if I keep flushing?

You can see it beginning in a leaf on the bottom left in the first picture.

a good alternitive for the testing equipment cost is p.h strips there 5 bucks.U can get them at walmart if you want.Its in the pool section.check your p.h run off it should be between 6.2 and 6.8. I would feed them as usual but make sure you dont over feed them. And keep in mind that toward the ending of flowering the large leafs will turn yellow. this is due to the plant finding all the nitro it can find in itself to finish thier life.
 
I would just keep an eye on it and see if it gets much worse. Doesn't look to be anything to major. Ph is really important though, as The Butcher said, testing strips will suffice and can be obtained at WalMart.
 
No expert here but I'll throw in my 2 cents.

I don't think drowning your plants with all this flushing is going to help. Are you sure you don't have a pest like spider mites? They can leave damage like that. Otherwise, it is like there was a ball of super hot nutes in the soil and the plant just reached it. Don't think that is really possible but it the symptoms would point to something that radically changed recently. That is why pests are the first thing to check.
 
I would probably go with munki's advice if you are really concerned. Honestly i've had many leaves do that. It could be from a number of things. Sun spots, a deficiency of some kind, even bugs. I'm not a soil guy but if you just flushed, then give it time.
Most grows with soil seem to water every 3-5 days. and you add nutes to your water every other watering, I dont think that skipping nutes one time will hurt too much.

But if you are concerned just water it again with plain water. The rest of the plant is super green and healthy looking, leaves are a nice thickness. If you happen to underfeed it, thats alot better than overfeeding it, from the information that i've gathered anyhow. I am no expert so don't take my word for it. Like someone else typed somewhere I read, 'things have been going great for you so far with this that i'd hate to see it ruined' from too much flushing.

DFW-Guy, I can almost smell to buds now bro. That fresh green bud smell. We will start flushing Jamaican No.2 tomorrow. Haven't been heavy handed on the nutes this time around as they had 2/3 fox farms OF mix, with worm castings and mineral supplement. I will flush with 5 gal or so and then trim wed. I have clipped a few lower buds and started drying them as I wish to have some Jamaican along for my trip thursday. Electric fruitpunch and Jamaican around the campfire at night, along with some campfire coffee and great friends. Good mix. Keep up the great work bro, you are entering the home stretch. ^5
 
Well thanks everybody for the comments and advice. I realize that these plants take a few days to react to treatment, so I'll relax for now and flush again on the next watering. I don't think it's mites, but how could I prove it's not? I'll let my plants do their thing, I've got less than a month to go, there's no way I can screw this up to badly as long as I'm careful.
 
good you dont wanna be have all that moisture with the recent showing of Powdery Mildew around these threads!!!

well you should be able to tell if you got mites by the underside of the leaf.. you should see them, another give away are small webs

Your in the home stretch now, so IF you got em just manually kill em and dont spray shit on em

+ reps for good luck
