will 6 26watt cfls be enough to grow 2 plants?
Walmart.com - Always Low Prices! - GE CFL Light Bulb: 26 Watt (100W Equivalent), 6-Pk


and.....is there any kind of adapter that connects 2 or 3 light bulbs to one lamp? or is there a special fixture i should get?

Yeah that should be enough light but I'm not sure you'll be pleased with your yield. Also yeah you can buy a y-socket (or something like that?) it lets you connect two bulbs to one socket. They're like 1$ a piece from home-depot.

or buy 2 power strips and then socket adapters and boom you are done.. See how the bulbs are plugged right into the strip easy as pie

haha i also like the idea but i was thinking of only using one of those sockets and using 3 y-adapters so u could use 4 bulbs.

look close to this set up. works great. you have to get the y to fit more lights there is 6- 26 watts sylvanya bulbs under a home made deflector made from aluminum insolation from home depot. get the aluminum tape to secure the wire ties
