I hope it works out for you jasonsensation.

I have got lil mini plants, im growing with 2 23 watt cfl's and 2 t12 daylight fluor tubes.
Mine are all like 5-7 nodes (leaf sets with branches). I'm doing a micro grow in a rubbermaid box I never have mine further then 6 inches.

Actually im considering stretching mine

Are you open growing in your room? or is it closed off somewhere? I suggest putting together even a small grow box even if it's painted flat white cardboard if you are going to go the CFL (Compact Fluors) way.

That's the cheapest method if your trying to save.

What did you have in mind?

I'm all about rigging things since the economy has gone down the tube and gas prices up it!
