That particular piece was just an example I had at hand when I decided to snap a pic for you. That's actually a shelf out of one of those pre-fab'd put together cabinets. I'm not done modding it yet, but the size is because that is just what I have to work with. I try to find something, anything I have laying around the house to use before I go and spend cash and gas by going to the store. I have one grow going on in a pantry that's built into the wall in my dining room. I pulled shelves out, started drilling holes and affixing light bars. It's working pretty well. It's the type with the adjustable shelves, so I got the top in place and I just pull out the bottom shelf, move the side pins down a notch or two, then put the shelves back in and put the plants back in, along with my desk fans and clamp lights. You can actually by cheap pre-fab'd cabinets at lowes/walmart/home depot and do something similar. It's by no means an original idea of mine. I saw a post a while back where someone did the same and they had power strips attached to both side walls, the back and top. They got light all around that way.
I was thinking he meant CFLs mounted vertically when he said "going up and down" I didn't even stop to think that he might have meant moving up and down.
but of course....Do I need to show some of my fixtures??
GL.Are those good to grow with? Like, even with the bulb that's included?View attachment 2740998
Just lay some of these across your container tops or mount on the sides of your grow space.......they are $10 at wallymart,t5,14w,23"in.
Easy and not too complicated
The bulb it comes with is a 4000k....but some people have said they've used them before,even argued they were a better kelvin!........anyway I just bought 2 3000k and 2 6500k from lowes and returned the 4000k bulb from the walmart fixture to lowes in the other packaging...basically getting my money back for the bulbs
