Yeah, Lowes or HD or any hardware store or lighting store would have Y adapters for sockets.

I think this is pretty much what they are
TCP Light Bulb 28942 - 28942 27K 42W 10M SPRINGLAMP - 42 watt 120 volt Medium Base 2,700K SpringLamp Compact Fluorescent TCP Light Bulb at ServiceLighting.com
which on there it says they are 2700k
Well, CFL's are CFL's, light is light, no matter what Kelvin rating you have they will grow weed, but one doe sit better than the other. From my knowledge, until someone steers me another way, the lower Kelvin rating such as 2700K is for flowering. The higher kelvin rating such as 6500k is for Veg.
This is my setup, all homemade. 10 cfls. 27watters. I have since been using the Daylight bulbs 6500K for Veg and my week old babies seem to enjoy it.
Nice setup :jointsmile:
how many plants do you have on Veg right now?
5 plants. When I get the right pots, Should be able to fit 8 8inch pots in there. Most likely not enough light for 8 plants, but am growing lowryder2 and I might modify it to get some cfls on the side of the tub. Most likely upgrade the 27watter to 42watters like you, but will have heat problems then, which will require more modification. GRRRR
:D
how many weeks are you in so far? If you can post some pictures of your plants, I'm curious.
AND you def. could add a couple more cfls to your room. More light usually doesn't hurt, just make sure they aren't too close to the plants. I keep mine 2 or so inches away from the top of the plants.
Yeah, I should be getting a few of those Y socket adapters and was thinking four 42watt CFL's.
Do you think that would be good for 2-3 plants?
Aight, heres the 5 plants, pic1 is everything thats under my tub.
pic 2 is the 7day old baby. A little blurry but the best I can do with this shit camera.
Like I said more light is better, but maybe you could have maybe 4 42watters on top and a couple 27watter on the side or something.
I made the mistake just like you did for not putting enough soil in, but you live and you learn, I know what to do now.
