ok ok , i got it

pics--

#1 thats the rubbermaid i have my plant in. the demenions are roughly 12"x24"x18" those lights are 150W=42w cfls (2600 lumens)--picked em up at home depot for $9 a piece -- i used to have foil up for reflection but it burnt some holes on some leaves to i took that shit down >.< gonna get some mylar eventually,.. real broke atm tho

#2 thats the back end of it, i cut holes and jammed the sockets thru so they fit snuggly

#3 is the sockets i used to mount my lights

$2.50 a piece at home depot

#4 is some shit my friend hooked me up with, i used a little of the superp already for healthier roots... i read that helps-- the bone meal is great too, a good light mix 6-3-0 -- i ordered some liquid organic nutes from over seas too

questions---

do ya guys think i should have all 4 lights on that one plant.. (42x4=168w 10400 lumen)

any other suggestions you guys could make to help me out would be great too

almost forgot... my plant pics

it is looking better now.. in one of those pics you can see where the light that fell burnt my plant.. and complete destroyed my other one...

right now i only have 2 lights on the plant about 2-3" above it because i want it to stretch out a bit.. used to have the lights real close to the plants and caused em to get real bushy-- is that a good idea ????

the closer the better...tighter/denser buds...unless you want to stretch for cloning...imho.lw
