Thanks for the advice...I actually just realized yesterday that the air blowing from the fan onto the plants is warm... I know my grow wasn't designed properly, growing in such a hot place at such a hot time of year.....I know venting to the outside would be better, but that isn't really an...

My main problem is high temps & lack of ventilation. The only place I can grow is in the back corner of my garage. There are no windows and no central air. I live in the SouthEast & it is H O T....plant level temps have been ranging 86-95 and would easily be over 100 if I wasn't using fans. My...

So I hooked everything up at the hardware store & it fit perfect, get it back to the casa, rig it all up with a big smile on my face....drumroll Clark Griswold style hit the switch and no lights....Obviously frustrated I step away for a few bourbons, go back to the drawing board a few hours...

Your grow so ghetto it puts its food stamps in a money clip. Your grow so ghetto it was born in a bucket at KFC. Your grow so ghetto it washes paper plates. Your grow so ghetto its idea of a fortune cookie is an Oreo with a food stamp in the middle. OK, so now that I have your...

BINGO! Just got 2 medium extenders for each fixture, and 10.5 inch reflector with 2 42 watt cfl's in y-split fit perfect. Can't wait to see what this additional light does for my 3 ladies!

Yea, you can def get into some crazy conversations with hippies.....Someone once asked me, "What if you were perfeclly normal, but you had rocking chair legs? Would you rock out all day?" Something to think about anyways...... Your avatar is awesome by the way, I just saw Pineapple Express...

Thanks for the tip! Someone had told me to try and find an extension to screw into the fixture, I'm off to the hardware store to see if I can find something that fits, if that doesn't work I will try the tubing.....

I appreciate the retraction, and def except the apology. The last thing I would want to do is cause unnecessary drama/stress over a name on a message board, I think most of us deal with enough of that in our daily lives. To call me jerk because someone chooses a mb name similar to mine is just...

Why would you insult me? Understand that I have no ill will towards anyone...I visit this site a lot more then I post, but that does not mean you should call me a ButtHead. When I joined in March I had no idea that someone would join with a similar name (based on the same song I am sure) 4...

Nine CFLs for one plant vs. eight CFL for 3 plants is probably why your lady is growing so quickly.....looks like a nice set up you have there, what are you using to keep the temps down, and for exhaust?

This is a story that sticks out to me....My friend & I were about 14 years old sitting outside the arcade, smoking cigarettes....and this dude in a purple tie dyed shirt comes up to us and bums a cigarette....a hippy in every sense of the word, We get to talking to this guy and he tells us he is...

Looks like a very creative set up man, kudos....how close are you going to try and get the bulbs from here on out?

I designed my light fixture pretty much identical to the setup in this book and cannot find reflectors that will fit the 42 watt cfl, let alone two of them in a y split.....can anyone share with me where to get some reflectors that will work with this set up? Thanks!

Look in the top right corner of your post, I joined in March of 2009 with the name IllegalSmile, 4 months before you...using your thought process, you stole "my" name...

Unfortunately I can't be any help, but I will be curious to see of any responses....I have a similar reflector issue....I am growing with 42 watt cfl's and can't find a reflector that will fit one bulb, let alone 2 with a y split. My lighting set up is almost identical to the one in Garden...
