Default CFL question, good idea, bad idea?
permalink
Bored and stoned, i configured this contraption from shit i had around the house, and a trip to lowes. Do you think this is an OK idea to start a couple plants under? Im new to anything to do with CFL's, but i think everything with the fixture should be ok. your thoughts?
I plan on running 2 each of the cools and 2 daytime for the veg, and maybe changing it for the flower. Anythoughts on this would be appreciated too.
Thanks

Yea Bro, I did the same thing and it worked great for my girlies. Actually a bit better because the cfls hang at an angle, and theres an opening in between them for the plant to grow up in. The light hugs the top. get one of those setup for each plant. youll have some monsters in no time.
