this set-up works great. 2x4 section, with power strips zip-tied to it with sheet metal reflector. add y's and base adapters, and ya have yerself a dandy little fixture.

how many watts are those and how many do you have and how many plants do you have?

Keep your CFL about 1 to 2 inches away from the plant. You are going to be needing more CFLs.. about 100 watt per plant will be great!

I also have 3 plants and I currently have 10 cfls with a total of 300w. I plan on adding another 4 lights ..so far they have been doing great
