Ok so I went out and got four 26 watt cfls. I also have my fan and my timer as well as my grow box. But im waiting to get some fixtures to plug them into. Does anybody know how a newbie like my could hook up some y fixtures?

dude, just go to any hardware store and look around the extension cord section, they should have some light outlets that you plug in the wall, then just get a couple (3)"Y" adapters, that should get you started

this is what i did and works well

go to HD and buy a bathroom fixture 3 light, there $7.97, get 3 y splitters and a computer power cord, you gave a 6 cfl fixture, i also use the 26w. i also made a 2nd one that i just run 3 26 6500k for veg box, the fixtures are easy and cheap, also reflective chrome
