Power Strip CFL Fixture

You couldnt order one online? CFLs work great, thats what I started with, but once you enter flowering they arnt so great. Not near as much light as you need.
 
oh and while you're at it, show me a 400W HPS that needs little to no cooling a small grow space, such a micro grow.
the point of this thread isn't the compare HPS to CFL both have their applications, jackass.
fuckin' noobs like yourself just trash the discussions on these boards.

go troll another forum.

yeah yeah yeah...
the point i'm making is a 400W with ballast that will work in a small grow cab application as a CFL... IOW take out your CFL's and replace with a 400W HPS without adjusting height, venting or cooling. See how long your girls last.

Thought I'd toss my CFL setup pics in the mix.

Same basic principle uses 3 plug/sockets, 2 Y-sockets and 1 socket-socket with plugs.

Got my parts at Home Depot.

Nice setup and simple. I made this for my first plant but it died due some experimenting...

2010-12-30 15.16.42.jpg2010-12-30 15.16.52.jpg

It haves 5 15w 6500k, 3 23w 2700k and 2 23w 2500k.
 
I tweaked my setup a little over the weekend. Would explain what "I did but pretty self-explanatory when looking at pictures.

Lowes had a perfect piece of tin. It was in the ducting area, came in that exact shape, I didnt have to do any bending, I just cut off about 10inches in the length because I didnt need it all.

Have also learned that zip ties are the shit!

What is that called that your using for yo reflector?
 
there's a lot of neat fixtures in this thread. right on riu.

Figure I'll throw one of mine in here. just a piece of sheet metal, a couple power strips and a computer fan on top. originally had this in a garbage can.
