Novice Grower Needs Some (Expert) Advice...

Currently I've got some White Rhino, Afgooey, Grape Ape, Sweet Island Skunk, and Big Bud growing under a 1500W HPS on an 18/6 cycle. They are probably 2-3 week old clones. I also have a 1000W MH that I could use, just need to get a bulb for it.
I know most of the time I would be better off to use the MH, but is this the case even though it is 500W less than the HPS and puts off substantially less lumens??

My goal is for the bud to be the best it can possibly be, and the yield to be maximum.
That being said, I was wanting to run a full Humboldt Nutrients Premium 2-Part line. Here's the link for the feeding schedule and list of nutes I would be using... http://humboldtnutrients.com/wp-content/uploads/Master-A-&-B-Amended.png
It would be like 17 different nutrients...base nutes, root stimulants, beneficial bacteria, supplements, foliar sprays, additives and flushing solution.

If in the last week I did nothing but flush, would it be enough to get all these chemicals out?

yep a week of flushing usually does it for me

i would rather a 1500w hps for vegging then a 1000w MH, if u had to choose...but if your planning on vegging for like 2months or more the MH might be the better option...but if not deffinatly the hps
