Ski.. did you do your entire hardonna etc. grow with just CFLs? I don't want to be spending $600 (£300).. but I don't want to skimp out too much either..

Are you saying that a good way of varying the distance of your lights from your plants is to raise or lower the plant with books rather than raise or lower the light?

The shower curtain idea sounds good.. I need to some how make some kind of ceiling as well.. maybe with some kind of plastic sheet material too..

What do you think are the most important elements to spend enough money on?
