Hello all, i'd just like to say how impressed I am with the site. I'm looking to make a stealth grow op in our cold unfinished basement. Ideally like a 2x3x6'(DxWxH) closet type fixture. I'm thinking about using bathroom light fixtures (those bar lights holding 4 uncovered lights see link for example: http://www.detrayscustomhousingllc.com/customize/4 Bulb Bar.jpg) I was hoping to put CFL lights in and have a vertically placed barlight on all four sides of my grow setup with maybe 2 or 3 lights on each side. I'm only going to be growing like 2-4 plants. I know CFL lights produce little heat so I'm wondering whether I should maybe put a low wattage (like 75w?) HID lamp to light from above to HEAT my grow room and provide some light from above with the CFL lights lighting the four sides . Haha ironic that I'm worried about heat but it will be in the 40-50F range in the room. Any suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated. Peace
