So I dumped the 600w HPS and picked up the $20 150 HPS and 4 more 43w cfl's. Running that 600w for a single plant is obviously over kill and I wasnt able to cool it down like I had wanted.

One question....my plant smelled like marijuana the first few weeks of its life but doesnt seem to smell like anything but grass now. Its on day 18 of flowering. Is this normal???

the price to run a 600w on a single 20" midgrade bagseed plant just isnt worth it to me haha. The 150w should work just fine with all the cfl to support it and Ill use the hood that holds the 600w..
