hello im a first time grower planning on using compact fluorescent bulbs for lighting. I have no idea how to setup a bunch of cfls at once. how would i connect them all together. any help would be nice.

Well, there are an endless number of ways...
Click on my gallery, then click on a picture of my setup. I use a few different types of sockets and Y splitters (y splitters take one bulb socket and turn it into two). You can click on the pictures to enlarge them. Also, below the picture it says "grow room setups" in red. Click on that and check out all the different ways that people set up their lights. Pictures say a thousand words...

1st. Pin and pad to write all this down. If you have a home depot near you then thats were you will get all of your supplies. Get some Y adapters for you lights so you can have more than 1 bulb per socket. My next Q fopr you is how many plants are you growing? You can either get some clamp work lights or just some sockets with the cords (perfer the clamp lights) maybe like 4 or 5 of those and that way you can have 8 to 10 bulbs total because of the Y adapters maybe more because it really depends on how many Y adapter you buy. Hope this helps. Peace
