I bought a used phototron 5 ($175) and did everything 'by the book': bought the germination kit and followed the pinching and pruning instructions. Only accessory added was the SL-20 center light. Pic was taken during 16 on/8 off cycle, just before changing to 12/12. Quality of harvested material (leaf and tops) has varied from good leaf to bud quality (couldn't finish one joint). What is nice is the smoke quality - none of the harshness associated with leaf, just smooth. 
Of course, I'd rather be growing with my HID/hydro system, but the tron was a compromise with my partner, plus the power bill is less.
btw, a friend is selling a tron. I want to buy it and use for growing carnivorous plants!
