| | CFL Grow Box: Chime in!! | | Hey fellas, Well, I've been shopping around for all the major appliances and I'm about done. Gotta e40 socket to find, seems like they're impossible to find!! But I made this little thread to ask you guys what would be an inexpensive but highly effective box I should make. I figured I should buy a nice slab of wood at Lowes/Home Depot and start throwing screws on it but I thought I should consort with the knowledgeable peeps on this site first...
Name off any ideas you can think of relating to the grow 'BOX'!!  |

Hahaha I'm so glad I made this thread, its almost case closed for now. Hey Puff, kick ass box bro!  I like!! I just gotta figure out how to mount the ventilation properly. Gotta figure out a good blueprint to map out myself!! Thats my project tomorrow, right after I hit up Goodwill. How much do their cabs range from? No more than 20? |

| | Yea, some times cheaper, depending how big you want it, i also bought 2 vanity lights with 7 light holders, and i going to line those on top with 2 or 3 of my 105w cfls. I found some gr8 hoods at Big Lots for them, do you have one... i read you saying you need a socket for your cfls, they are at walmart also.... They can support upto 250w with a nice little aluminom hood. They are at Big Lots for $5 and not sure about walmart... |

| | With 2-3 105w cfls I bet you can conjure a good MH/HPS setup instead? But I'm not downing CFL either
Big Lots has hoods?! i went there but didn't see any. Haha, everywhere I go I seem to be missing out on these things. I'll have to ask someone that works there next time I go. Thanks for the tip off. and ya, I'm still looking for a socket for my CFL, but all the sockets seem like standard 24w bulbs. Are you sure walmart's packin' e40s? You're abundant info on cheap tricks gives me hope for the future sir. I'll definately swing by Big Lots in the tomorrows for a hood and take a trip and look for a socket/lamp fixture for my 95w CFL grow light. http://www.gardenscure.com/420/attac...125w-5500k.jpg
pretty much what my bulb looks like, only this one in the picture is 30w better than mine

BTW, I'm going shopping at Walmart and Big Lots tomorrow. If I don't get a light reflector or a e40 socket/extension, I'm gonna drop kick something! |
