The good thing is that I already have my CFL's for veg and flowering. 12 - 23 watts for veg and 12 - 42 watts for flowering. So I am set there thankfully. Appreciate the price saving advise though, hopefully someone else can go grab a deal.

Damn, here is a 6 light fixture I probably would have bought had I known about it... http://www.lightingdirect.com/kichler-626-contemporary-modern-6-light-36-wide-bathroom-fixture-from-the-bath-collection/p844365

Thanks for the reply Gastanker. Well damn, that would have made things much easier haha. O well, it was fun putting my own fixture together, and I got a 6 light fixture I desired. I plan on a 3 plant grow with the fixture I have made do you think this setup with be sufficient for that? I...

Thanks for the word of caution. I actually have finished the light fixture is a picture of it hung up. I'm going to leave it on all day tomorrow so I can keep an eye on it and make sure nothing is getting hot and what not. Here is a picture. The only reason that I don't have the last socket...

Well I had some time to work on the lights last night, I will post pictures when I get finished with the setup.

Hahah, yeah it runs in the family my father is a finishing carpenter and I think I have caught the bug in my adult years. Nothing like wood working. Teaches you patience and concentration. I can also think of another thing that does that...growing. :weed:

I actually considered doing that, but when I plugged everything together it just didn't seem very solid. That with with zip ties supporting everything together as well. It probably would have been fine, but I just didn't want to have to trust it for 3 months above my plants. That is why I'm...

Ah thanks man thats really nice of you. Yeah the "brooder" word comes down from the farmers. They used these clamp lights to incubate chicken eggs with. So there you go. More fun facts. ;)

Hey jsamuel24, Cool, thanks for the reply. Would you mind taking a picture of your setup, I would love to see how you integrated the fuses into the splicing. I will be running 12 42 watt bulbs with this setup. I am also running into a little design snaffu. I am trying to figure out how to...

Hey Nuglets, its just a clamp light. Here is a picture.

Bump itty bump bump.

Thanks for the reply Gastank. I have made up a image showing what I have planned to do in my head. Is this the correct way to wire in parallel? Thanks, jixan

Hello all just a quick question. Can you daisy chain brooder lights together? I have been wanting to setup a CFL grow and one way that I have thought of doing it is to daisy chain 6 brooder lights together that I already own. With there being only 2 wires in the cord all I would need to do is...

Awesome thank you for the insight I appreciate it! Good luck on your grow! I'm going to go check it out right now!

I completely agree with you on keeping the electrical clean and simple. I have 6 brooder lights already as well as the CFL's already. Can I take the brooder light cords and daisy chain them together, instead of having to plug in all six lamps?

Hey, it would actually be 12 of these http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/2237/FC42-80891.html I will be building a custom light rack that has 6 sockets with Y Splitters in each.

Pretty sure I am going to end up going with Aurora from http://www.nirvanashop.com/en/feminized-marijuana-seeds/819-aurora-indica-feminized-5-seeds.html I dig a good strong indica.

Would 12 42W 2700K be enough CFL for flowering 2-3 plants? I plan to veg for about a month. Thanks, jixan

YES! Another square footer among us! Well, that might have just made up my mind for me Mel's Mix, I'm coming back. Sweet! Thanks Vindicated! jixan

Thanks for such a descriptive response. I just mixed my own soil for a Square Foot Garden I installed which consisted of following: 1/3 Peet Moss 1/3 Vermiculite 1/3 Compost (Cotton Burr - Cow Manure - Worm Castings - Mushroom Compost) Do you think that will cut the mustard? It seems well...
