With the growth of my plants i need to add a few more CFL's but the grow space is getting cluttered with the 3 light clamps (like for a reptile light) that i am currently using. I would like to try and hang 5-9 CFL's from a piece of plywood but i have no experience in wiring and electrical and i have no idea how i would connect all of them to one chord to plug into a socket. I have 2 MH bulbs but i cant seem to find any screw-in type socket for them and i dont have the money for a $150 ballast. I have seen some of the examples of the plywood technique and was wondering if anyone could possibly give me some detailed advice on how to set it up or if anyone has other ideas on how to set up a group of CFL's that would fit in a dresser that is 38" high and 28" long and about 18" wide. So if anybody has any advice for me on this lighting quandry i will gladly accept the advice. Also they are currently on an 18/6 schedule because that is what i seemed to read they needed, but i am seeing people are using 24/0 and i thought that the plants needed the 6 hours in the dark to regenerate.
Thanks in advance for your help:rasta:
