Also if it were me, I would want some reflectors on those CFL. You are probably getting a lot of light wasted, going out the sides and even up. I'm guessing it would double the light reaching the plants, but who knows. I don't think anyone has found out yet what the shape of the light intensity is for CFL.

cut out a beer can or any aluminum can on both ends and place the can over the cfl and point the now redirected light downward at the crops. seems to work for other people. seein how the light dosent get too too hot it would seem to work out:greenthumb: :rastasmoke:

The light is a 400w HPS and the fan system is two muffin fans blowing out from the light. There is ducting connected to the fan and that is ushered out of the room. We also have a fan bring air in. The fan system actually cools the light a little bit so we can put it closer to the plants.

And as for the cfl reflectors, we had some homemade ones, but they were more trouble than they were worth (and we were still getting good growth without them). But that is a good idea with the pop cans. I'm working on getting a 150 watt hps to run 18/6 in the veg room. It only gonna be fifty bucks and that should cover a couple small plants and the seedlings can have the cfls.

We clipped clones of the girls today. I got 4 off each and we're gonna do more right before the photoperiod change (in about 2 weeks). We set up the clone dome and everything and it is working awesome. Humidity hovers around 95% and the perlite keeps everything up to par.

You can see how big the females are getting.
