built lighting fixture with sheild and mixed spectrum

Ok here we grow again. Cleaning things up in the flower box. Got 8 CFLs , (2) - 55/200 watts 2700k, (4) - 42/150 2700k and (2) - 23/100 6500k. I have room to add 3-4 more sets of lights. I'm new at this and would like to hear your comments. Peace!

Love the reflector idea man.
I have some of that out in the shop !!

Thank! I saw the something like it on the Internet being sold for $160 and my materials cost me $15 plus lights which I already had. It took about 1/2 hour to construct. I use CFLs and everyone keep saying more light, more light for big buds. So trying to give more light and be able to adjust the height as my flowering girl continue to grow. It works better than the clip on lamps.

sorry... edit: can a 2 foot, 4 bulb t5 not fit in there?

Not sure. I started out with CFLs and Have just being running with them, maybe it's a newbie mistake. Not the first mistake. But I like the results I'm getting so far. I will expanding my grow space so I will reevaluate my lighting then. Thanks !

I have great success with CFL's as well! Grow on friend!

Great overall lighting setup, lights could be closer for maximum potential and yield though,

Thanks Samster! Here's the family portrait minus my flowering girl, shes turned into a shut in now.

White Widow, White Russian, Chernobyl, 3rd Dimension, Girl Scout Cookie, Bubba Kush and the new babies are Northern White Ape which I just got, so they need some work, but I will see if they like CFLs and FF trio.
