Fluorescent light help

[harmonicminor]

I can get my flouro setup up to 2 feet away from the tops and still have mad growth. heres what I use....... a 4 bulb teklight t5 with 2 2x overdriven 2 bulb electronic ballast t8 shoplights hung from eack side of teklight. all bulbs are 6500k spectrum. but thats just for vegging, for flower I use a 1000 watt hps lamp with a hortilux bulb.

Hey Harp! Nice plants...do you play? I've got Natural Minor Lee Oskar...But my Honer Marine Band is my fave!
Gen ...The beauty of a few fluoros is you can lower one to get it closer to a smaller plant in an attempt to balance their heights

I play guitar and my account name is actually a music scale not a harmonica. to get more light to smaller plants I can just prop them up with something. only two strings to adjust lamp hieght this way. besides how many of those cfl's would it take to reproduce the results in the last photo??? Imagine the sog I could do under that setup if I were to use it for budding.

I play guitar too ..and mandolin....are they hydro?

[harmonicminor]

not those but I do hydro too.
mandolin tuning is wierd I tried it once but it would take some getting used to. I would like to try a Cello sometime
