The problem I have with this is, for one you're paying for that "reflective" decorative item. two It cannot be modified to fit your closet, grow room or whatever should it require a specific size/dimension. all that prefab stuff is great blah blah, but you're still paying so much. This fixture I...

by the list you have shown here it seems as though you have a great start. maybe the reason nobody has chimed in is because most people that get this type of equipment already know how it goes together before they purchase it, or get exact specs from the retailer which they purchased. but simply...

Hey Bobby, is there a way you might be able to take a pic so we could give ya a hand??

I had two sockets already on hand, those would be the odd looking ones mounted in the back corners of the fixture -i put them there because they dip down a little lower than the others, and that is a place where little light usually goes so it worked out well. The ceramic sockets were only $1.99...

Yes sir, I buy my seeds from attitude- always fem. I've never had any problems with them to be honest with you, and yes they have ALL ALWAYS grown up to be proper ladies. I germinate hydroponically and then transfer to dirt. I clone quite a bit but, I only buy seeds when I want to shake up the...

Bud, I was really hoping you meant incand's, lmao. I was staring into my veg room thinkin "what the shit?? they works great for me.... i hope he means incands'??" lmao

Oh sir I am a bit jealous here... we don't have average bulbs here that also tell the specific portion of the spectrum, thats really cool. sometimes ours in the states have a nice little picture with the light spectrum on the backs with a general idea as to where the light falls in the spectrum...

I'm with ya on the engines broham, not my thing either. lol. Sorry for the use of the term "daisy-chain" may have caused some confusion. I serv ed for 8 years in the Army and sometimes it's hard to shake the jargon. on the under side of each socket are 4 terminal posts: 2 silver with silver...

thats a good option, i wander if i mounted them against the enclosure wall if it would help on the sides of the plant too. do you happen to knoe the lumen output on those? general guess or know?

what spectrum does the T-5's focus on? the bulbs i use are daylight and awesome their blue/violet portion. Alos, the size youre talking about for the T-5's etc are way too big. the fixture i built is only 36 inches long and 10.5 inches wide.

Here are the specs: 14 lights --> 200W each [(output)(only 42W used per bulb) 14x200=28,000 Watts put out (14x42=588 used) Each bulb produces 2800 lumen. 14 lights x 2800 lumen each = 39,200 total lumen. I don't think any T-5 bulb can put out that much lumen. Also, bulbs are cheaper to replace...

without the light bulbs it cost me less that 35$. The wood I used from a desk i threw out, The garden fence (which holds the form for the refelctor plastic) I had left over but I know a whole role from home depot is only 7$,the plastic, as mentioned i've had for a while now, other than that 12G...

thats to say the plant is even a female. if its a male it will just begin to smell before you should be cutting it down and ridding yourself of it. I'm not sure about Europe but there are hundreds of better options as far as lighting is concerned. a day-light 200W that uses 42W of electricity...

Let me guess: currently usin' the shiny side to aluminum foil??? The row of sockets with no bulbs also works great but I have to buy more bulbs to put in them, pay-days are too far apart, lemme tell ya'

It does, it is called something.... I just took pictures of the label you should be ale to see the dimensions it is sold at. i made a mistake its actually 5.5mils thick not 3 i mentioned before. I'm already able to pull a ton of lumen out of this not to mention the equivalent wattage, i think...
