Ill be growing with this setup. Hows it look? Besides quite scrambled. Im sure its enough light for veg, but flowering i think i should add more. Im planning on having 3 plants in here. Ill probally buy more of those big cfls. The frame the cfls are on is adjustable but its sort of. A pain in my ass.image.jpg image.jpg

lol looks really good. But I've been there before and I used to love the improvising, now I find it to be a pain in the ass. Much less headache to just get a 400 watt and use cfl's around the sides to supplement it. I know heat and what not might be an issue but that is just one thing to improvise as opposed to 8 or 9 bubs!

Anyway, this looks really nice and clean. Enjoy the grow, best of luck!!

Yea, I totally agree from what Ive experienced so far. But i said Im just going to ride it all the way out with CFLs for my first rodeo. So my first grow will be completed with all CFL. Ive learned so much in between and in the process that its not even funny. Infact its a at the bottom of the grow lifestyle. There is so much to do so much advanced equipment to behold as toys. Also im down to one plant which is in her 5th week of flower and Its beating me up mentally..lol that if i had grown her under a 400w, 600w, or even 1000w how beautiful she would have blossomed. Just using Roots Organic, Flora Nova Bloom 4-8-7, and Garden Tone 3-4-6, I feed every Wednesday. I water-flush every Sunday. 11gp, I flush with 5 gallons and feed with 1-2ish. AlsoI currently have her under 400+ watts at about 37,000+ lumens with a 125w 2700k CFL bulb E39 mogul at 7000 lumens for side lighting coming. LST nicely. Imagine mh/hps and super soil 3 month veg the lady she'd become talkig about a good 700-900g perfect invironment. Look at her just under CFL.IMG_20141027_173008.jpg IMG_20141027_172959.jpg

Clean Environment. Iclean my tent with bleached wateer, flower pinesol, and disinfectant. Mild scent but power sanitation. Also you should combine the bulbs for a maximum lumen output. You really only want to section them with more then one plant IMO. But clean set up invest in more brightness.
