Hi, all my plants have shot up during flowering stage, i keep having to higher my bulbs (300w red spectrum bulbs x 3 145w red spectrum bulb x 1 and 45w blue spectrum) everyday, because these CFL's are HUGE and hanging from the roof of the wardrobe i now need some way to lie them flat but i am skint and cannot afford any special hangers at this moment in time.
am i able 2 use 2 x metal coat hangers for each bulb? the bulb would rest on the coat hanger number 1 and coat hanger number 2 would hold the bulb holder side.

im a little worried about using metal with an electric bulb but desperate for a solution for this grow thats going so well.

thanks in advance.

you can hang them from whatever you like. the only thing you have to worry about is safety. Is the wind from the fan strong enough to knock it off the hangers? I would find something solid to hang them from. hooks in the stud in the ceiling, then hang them with a sturdy rope. the dollar store has cheap stuff you can use. look at my grow, alot of the stuff is from the dollar store. the baking pan reflectors, zip ties, rope, string, bendies to tie down the plant. go to yard sales. alot of times you can find all sorts of things to use. just make sure whatever you use it is sturdy. good luck man, got any pics of our grow? I wanna see the monster bulbs. I love cfl!

Yes il post some pictures up very shortly, just taking them now, cheers for the idea, the fans themselves are not too strong but strong enough for air to get around the stems, leaves etc and have 2 x PC fans for extraction.
cheers for the help :) this is my first grow and its looking good.
