Yep - I did it the same way, wired in parallel, jumper wires in between, 10ft extension cord for the plug end.Oh, did you do all the wiring yourself for the cfls? I did some wiring similar to this, I wired eight cfls in parallel to an extension cord, that was a pain in the ass. That was before I got my HID.
I have two 400w HPS lights thanks - and MH bulbs to go with 'em. I choose to use CFL's in my vegging closet because A) I like the way they veg my plants, and B) there would be a heat issue in my closet with an HID light.removed
Y would u want to treat another member like that?removed
Wow you guys are fast! Good to know, thanks.Don't worry about robtoker, that was his 5th infraction.
He's no longer with us...
Awesome nice work. So you going to flower with 3000k or your HID's?Yep - I did it the same way, wired in parallel, jumper wires in between, 10ft extension cord for the plug end.
LMAO wonder who got that one? hehe Didn't even notice!Oh, and your post count is 666 BTW Doe, lol.
Awesome, I like how you used mop buckets for containers, way to improvise! I think we have the same HPS, HTG right?LMAO wonder who got that one? hehe Didn't even notice!
Thanks, great to have you along! I'm flowering with my HPS lights. Got three ladies from my first two grows goin in there now still, probably a month to go on 'em yet. If you can't find the threads (or don't want to) I just updated my picture albums last night.
Got the first batch at Wal-Mart for 1.50, then found 'em at Everything's A Dollar for a buck, lol. Drilled about eight holes in the bottom for drainage, added the cheap plastic tray and bam - 3 gal planters!Awesome, I like how you used mop buckets for containers, way to improvise!

Lol awesome work. You sound like me, I got my 5 gallon buckets "free" from work and drilled holes in the bottom. Then found the 400w for cheap as hell on HTG, lol. Bud on a budget FTW! lolGot the first batch at Wal-Mart for 1.50, then found 'em at Everything's A Dollar for a buck, lol.

Yep you got it - HTG special.
lol Pretty much. Funny how that budget keeps stretching. I'm doing perpetual grow, thus far I've got the first three grows planted (and the Trainwreck here is the first "real" strain), got seeds coming for the next two grows, all the equipment to keep going except soil (and better nutes), well ok still need some harvest stuff, still haven't made it to my first harvest, and already spent a little over $1000.00 . Now THAT is depressing. lolLol awesome work. You sound like me, I got my 5 gallon buckets "free" from work and drilled holes in the bottom. Then found the 400w for cheap as hell on HTG, lol.

Ahh, don't worry about it, it will pay off in the end big time.lol Pretty much. Funny how that budget keeps stretching.

Yeah, that's about the size of it - "...yeah we can do it, won't cost much..." Goes to show how much I didn't know. lolAhh, don't worry about it, it will pay off in the end big time.
Yeah I wish I had the space for a perpetual grow.
You start out like well this is gonna cost me a few hundred bucks for this, then you realize you need all this other unforeseen stuff, then it really adds up. Initial investment is the worst part.
Oh and - wonders will never cease - yesterday I find out the hubby is actually jealous of the time I spend on my girls. What is that? Sheer craziness?Yeah, that's about the size of it - "...yeah we can do it, won't cost much..." Goes to show how much I didn't know. lol
Wow thats.... strange. Jealous of a plant lol, sorry but it's funny.Oh and - wonders will never cease - yesterday I find out the hubby is actually jealous of the time I spend on my girls. What is that? Sheer craziness?
Yeah I kinda thought so too. Seen it on the forum, usually guys sayin their girlfriend/wife was jealous, didn't really think it could be real. Weird, huh?Wow thats.... strange. Jealous of a plant lol, sorry but it's funny.
