using just household materials, how can you mount a CFL bulb with Y adapter and an extension cord? Can you just cut up a plastic bottle etc.? I just want something to hold the bulb upright.

pretty simple problem, but i have this innate ability to really over complicate things and not find the simplest solution.

use a power bar and either duct tape or wrap it to the top of your grow room or on a shelf that's adjustable (so you can raise it when the plants grow) and get some plug socket adapters and and your y adapter and your good to go.

Check out my tutorial in this post could help you out maybe? WIRING HELP.. CFLs

something a little simpler. i just want something to stand a bulb upright and make sure it wont tip with a little shaking. i think maybe just like a gatorade bottle would be enough, but that might be hard for me to cut for ventilation

use a peice of strapping.. drill some holes in it and put the socket in through the hole then use a hot glue gun to make it stick there then all you have to do is put in a bulb and plug it in.. at least that's all i did..

Yer gd idea that's what i did to start with apart from i didn't use a hot glue gun cos i don't have one. Used some waterproof sealant stuff instead only a couple of £ for a tube full worked fine for me too. Like highwayman said just drill a hole thread your wire though then wire your socket back on and glue the bulb holder in place.

yeah sealer works but you can use alot of stuff just to keep it in place
