Duct tape + cfl's = failure...

So, since i'm leaving tommorow for at least a week, i thought i tape my flower cfl up above my plant. The other 2 plant and 2 clones are veggin out. Half hour later i here a crash...and a smash. The cfl is in pieces on my plant. So i replaced the first 1" of dirt and put my 12day(at least) flowering plant in with the other vegging. I didn't even find out if it was a female or not. So, looks like i'll have to wait to flower them all in a couple weeks.:evil:.
Anyways, they're all on a blue spectrum so i'll have to replace all the bulbs with soft white(medium spectrum) and move the clones and other bulbs to where the first plant was(since they're smaller i don't have to tape light above them, they can just hang down).

LOL DUCT TAPE TO WOOD MAN!? its called DUCT tape... i have never seen a duct made of wood..... and that just raises the question if it was wood, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST PUT A SCREW IT! lol and please don't tell me something like i don't have a drill or screw driver..

Wait i know what you did, you taped a LAMP with the CFL in it above your plant right??? instead of going out to Home Depot and grabbing a $1.50 wall mount light fixture that is made to hang on the ceiling... LoL people, its like reading a tabloid every day with the stuff i see on here, i dont know if i should believe it or just pass it off as shananagins
