Hiya whitebb2727, nice Ghetto Setup..picture 3 looks busy!! Can you lower and raise the lights then? Looks a bit cramped at the back of that 125w CFL..how you Cooling the Bulbs?
Also the front 2 Bulbs I think might be wasted? not 100% sure but I think at the Tips of the CFL is like a DEAD point...on the side is better way to hang em, hope Grow goes well...What you got on the go(Strains)...
Peace
EDIT: Is that a Reflector in Photo 3?

I will get better pics. I built a 1 x 3 frame. I cut out spots for 110 outlets. when i raise the lights i move the whole frame up. That is a refelctor. The air purifier moves alot of air. I gutted it and it is now just a squirell fan. It exits out of a pvc 90 at the bottom. I glued a coffe can to pvc and instead of carbon i use water and purex. It always smells like laundry.

There is no exposed wiring. its the plugs with the push in back. When you wire them just keep the polarity right. Hot with hot, neutral with neutral. Thank you. I like it. Fixing to build a 4ft x 4ft x 8ft.

How do you like that 125w cfl ? Think it's worth it ? what did you pay for that bulb, and where did you get it ?

Cowboy, I really don't like the big bulb. It was 20 bucks at a local hardware store. I would rather have more small ones. I'm thinking about going to bathroom fixtures with y splitters. M4, Yea I just need to get me a piece of metal or duct. Thanks for liking. This is my first one, its a work in progress.

I use a bunch of 23 or 26 watters....you can also find these light socket extenders that allow you to manipulate the light better....here's a link to what they look like...I did not buy from this seller...I'm just showing you what they look like.

Thanks. I think Ill grow it what I got. I'm doing some remodeling. I really like the idea of more room and led and maybe cfl on sides.

You may find that when you switch to flower that you going to want more light. If you do you could ditch that huge cfl, pick up a few of these

Awesome for 3 bucks. (proly even cheaper for a electric fluent person) Suspend them down into the canopy for some good side lighting.
A buddy of mine has a little grow cab and he uses these to suspend to the lower portions of the plant. Wish i had a pic of it. he does it vertical with 2 plants and ties them to a net thats on the inside. and uses those to adjust the height of the individual bulbs. Thing looks crazy. 3 walls of buds with strings of light running down the center. CFLs can grow some serious medicine for the end user.

I forgot to say, these are at 34 days old. They come from bag seed. It was some fire I smoked last year and I put the seeds up, I forgot and found them this year.

I topped. Got stoned and dropped lights, had to top. lol. No lst, just 2 toppings to let all the side branches get even with the top. Its a mix of mg potting soil that sat outside for like a year in buckets. I mixed it with compost from my bin about 10%, 10-15% composted horse manure, couple cups of used coffee grounds, and about 30% perlite. Last one I grew in that mix went almost the whole way with no nutes.
