Hey JCB,

Just wanted to point out with a CFL grow, the more uniform the lights, the better. You have some wiring skills, its easy to setup stationary lighting with CFL's that will cover your entire canvas with light, cheaply - If you switch over to the small ceramic outlets, you can set them about 1" apart, if you want to get creative, you can also rig your stationary lighting to nylon slides (or plastic/wire) to raise/lower your CFL's, in my case I don't need this, because I'm maxed out (just about) on light on the bottom of my box, however, with your setup, your using about 1/4 of the lights I am, and they aren't exactly uniform, thus creating 'bright spots' which will call for multiple rotations.

Don't get me wrong, I do rotate my plants, but its more for the sake of inspection than light penetration - At any rate, with your current setup, your going to at least need something to get the plants closer to those CFL's (such as a box), otherwise your asking for unnecessary stretch.

I'm also not seeing any sort of ventilation, you are going to need it, while CFL's don't put off much heat, your going to need some air exchange.

All in all, not bad! You can see some good examples of uniform lighting on my log 2600 cfl log.
