i frequent visits to home depot and i saw they have a 8 dollar two pack of cfls they give off 1500 lumens each. ill probably string up about 16 of those, secure them in rows spaced evenly with the dimensions of the shelf, make one big reflector to go above them and cut a peice of acrylic or plexy glass or something to go on the bottom to creat one big CFL fixture with a heat shield so i can put em real real close :stoned:

is 12 the standard lamp wire that most small home appliances/accessories use? thats the one i used before and thats the one i planned on using but if 10/2 could be more safe then ill use that... what does that one look like?

thx for the help people i feel alot better about the setup ill be making.

much love

you should go get 43 watt cfl's 2600 lumens each $10 each also there good if i were you for your cabinet grow i think thats what you said if you do go that way get 10 23 watt cfl's 1600 lumens each and get 6 43 watt cfl's 2600 lumens each that would be good!! if you was going with a big area id suggest the t5 tubes and hang the fixtures on jack chains but i perfere the cfl's for personal cabinet growing for flowering as well

i finally got pics of that growing setup and if anybody see's anything that should be corrected id take the advice!!

CFL Questions experienced CFL growers please help. ive used them for growing before. when i did bought pigtail sockets from ACE and that standard lamp wiring... a big peice of it. the pigtail socket has the two screws on the back. you strip the wire... one side is grooved and one is smooth.. you strip the plastic and run the wire under the screws. and i hooked up 8 CFL's to one lampwire.. like christmas lights. question is... is there a limit that you should stay under when doing this? how many cfls Rating: 5
