ah i thought you meant this
CFL Lights > CFL Accessories > 4 Metre CFL Lamp Lead
lets you hang an extra cfl to a reflector with a cfl inside it

oh, well that would cost ALOT of money. and alot of outlets too
but with the splitters you have to watch out for how much power the lights needs. cuz u can overload ur sockets

you can get a 150w hps ballast reflector and bulb all in one eclosed setup for about 120 shipped...or if you have some diy skills you can get a 150 hps security light from home depot for 60 -80 depending on sales at home depot and rewire the thing ( which is easy) and there you go.......

yea but 1 150w would be way to little wouldnt it?
i was thinkging about growing 2 plants
1 200w redspec
1 200w bluespec
and was told that might not even be enough

I am using a T5(4' 400watt) for veging and temps are b/w 77-80, when I test ran my 400 watt(which i have air cooled) temps are about 78-81 at the canopy. my closet is 4x5x10, for the impact that the hps will have on the density of your buds in flowering and the resin they will create you really should just air vent one really well and go for it. You can do an interchangeable bulb that allows you to use MH for veging and HPS for flowering.

your gowing to use 400w total? or 200 for veg (blue) and 200 for flower (red)
well if u plan on cfl you would need quite a bit of lights. and if u go with the lamp cord and socket the money adds up.

well i was going to have blue spectrum in reflector during veg and have my red spectrum hanging vertically to give off extra lumen's and then when flowering time came, i was going to switch the bulbs around and have the red spectrum in the reflector and the blue spectrum hanging vertically. That way the one in the reflector focuses on what plants need more and the extra light for extra lumen's

no problem man...the best thing i figured out is to take my time and do shit right....my first stealth grow i bought a bunch of shit and slapped it together real quick...wasted alot more money than i should have....the most important thing to have in growing is patience...you cant rush nature....only enhance it.....
