i had a few problems with my lights too. sometimes getting the clamps to fit right and hold my large double bulbs was a pain, wish i could offer advise butsince i cant see everything you have on hand to work with it would be hard to make something work....McGiever it, do you Brits know who McGiever is, just be as resourcful as possible and try to get those lights horizontal so more light will be cast on the plants... just an update on my grow...it has really taken off over the last 8 hours and im almost sure i topped correctly since there are more than 2 new shoots that appear to be emmerging from wher there should have only been one....started cooling my reservior with water bottle which apparently u should have been doing earlier and the plant is still a dense little guy although it seems its gonna stretch once i get to flower, cant wait to see if this is girl....lets keep our fingers crossed....
