ok so... heres my problem.

I have... a workshop Flourescent strip, 8x 20watt CFL's and 3x 40watt CFL's.

Problem Im having is hanging them all above my plants. I only have 4 plants. Anyone have any plans on how to set up all of my lights? I have more then enough room for any wacky idea's. Big walk in closet.

Heres a picture of it right now, Ill go take more pictures later if you want Im just lazy right now...

As you can see, the CFL's are in danger of being a bit close right now and temperatures get up to 85 where they are right now. I think I might have an idea, but idk...
 
i just use chains and bread ties to hold the chains together. check out pages 1 and 3 of my sig, im using cfls on strips too.
 
try hangin them off a coat hanger,or build a hood n dome,u will need plywood and mylar to get started. like a 1 1/4 in drill bit to drill the holes for the sockets.

11 lights for 4 plants? Why would you even have a problem? If they're too small, keep it to 1-2 lights, then situate them along the sides with the side facing them... you can build a small reflector with wire and mylar/panda film/tin foil but please don't use tin foil, yuck.

And no dude I don't see the mentioned pic either.
 
lmao... I was high when I posted that... one sec HERES the pic...

but it wont look like that for long. I just fixed it up so It should look alittle better now... moved the CFL's higher and tilted the T8's ... so I have the plants under all the lights no... and Ima enclose them all in a mylar surronding and layer the bottom with mylar...

Yeah, that's definitely the way to go with CFL's, you have to be very flexible. I have dozens of 42W's with reflectors just sitting around waiting for an opportunity to be used.
The setup is happy happy nice nice now. Might want to borrow a friend's HPS for the last few weeks of flowering, just my opinion, but your plans are perfek.
