Yeah. I used 3 of the $25 ones in my closet. I'll post pics later. I'm going to start redoing my closet today  . Anyway, I put odor gels near the exhaust fan (not in the grow area, but where the air was expelled. I kept the spray around in case unwanted "guests" showed up.

That would definitely depend on your strain. I have 1 white widow flowering right now, 5 weeks in, and there is absolutly no smell coming off of my plant. The only thing i have the kills odor in the room is an ionic humidifier and i doubt that's what is killing the smell, just the strain, but my buddy is growing some blue kush, and that makes his whole house reek with a carbon scrubber and several oust large misters. It even smells outside of his house late into flowering. So your genetics play a major role on how much you need to invest in odor control.

So I think I'm gonna invest in a HPS light. A found a nice one online that would be perfect for 4 mature plants with maybe some seedlings.
http://www.growlightexpress.com/grow-light-systems-2/sun-system-2-hps-400-watt-7.html The ballast and reflector are one unit.
Either of these would be good

http://www.growlightexpress.com/hps-mh-bulbs-7/high-pressure-sodium-29/ushio-400-watt-hps-hilux-ahs-opti-red-lamp-593.html
Does anyone have any comments on any of these products?
I would recommend the Hortilux bulb over the other one. I like them. Others will say that they are all pretty close, but IDK about that from experience.
That is a suitable light system. My concern with built in ballasts is noise. Most of those type systems are cheaper because the ballasts are magnetic. If you aren't such a tight budget, consider HTG Supply's Lumatek w/ Xtrasun (Hydrofarm) reflector. Well worth the cash, and its a full system. Lumatek ballasts are MH/HPS switchable.
I think it really doesn't get any better than Lumatek for ballasts and Hydrofarm for reflectors (well there is Hortilux). Anyway, putting my money where my mouth is, I just bought a Hydrofarm AC Radiant reflector, 400W Lumatek ballast, and cord set. Expensive, but it will more than pay for itself in electricity consumption, useable wattage, and yield.

Here is my old CFL hood
 
Is that what you are thinking about, or a batwing reflector?

Thats exactly what I was going to get, I think HPS might be a little too expensive for me right now tho.

Youd be suprised how cheap a 100w hps light from the hardware store can be. If you have a home depot around you they sell them for $70usd and you can order it online if they're not local. I promise you that light is better for flowering and a 100w hps has a way higher lumen output than a 150w cfl. Just a thought for you. I have a MH version of these lights for my mature clones and it works great.

You could get a 250W HID from HTG Supply for the price of that Hydrofarm reflector and bulb. I think I spent around $130 + shipping for the CFL gear.
