The walls i did lower, but when i need to raise them i gotta unscrew them and rescrew them higher, does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to make it a little easier, I am no carpenter so you gotta kinda give me a dummies guide to it.

well all the plants died today, not my fault really though. A huge rat (about 14" with the tail) was around the area so i tried shooting it with my pellet gun, but he esaped through one of my vent holes and ended panicing and broke every single plant stem. 12 plants down the drain, o well at least i can start over and do everything right, this time im going to use 4 2ft 80w tubes instead of the cfl's though.
I am definitely no expert, but what I have learned so far from my grow with fl's is that 12 plants is probably way too many to grow efficiently. It seems that most of the people who are getting amazing results with fl's or cfl's are only doing one to three plants at a time. 12 plants may be stretching it...
In my next grow I only plant to start out with 5 and go from there...:smokin:
dont switch to tubes. buy a few 42 watt CFL at home depot or lowes if you're gonna use flouros. build a home made reflector that you can raise/lower and get 4+ of those bulbs on it. works pretty well and is cheap. you have to do some super easy wiring but its worth it. The only thing flouro tubes are good for is starting out seedling to about the second or third node because the plants can touch the tubing and not burn so you can keep your seedlings really short and inspire the plants to bush out.
use both!
