Thats my setup, a square bit of wood, with 4 hooks on one side and 2 lampholders on the other, + 1 hook on top of cabinet, + chains... easy to higher and lower the bulbs as you like. You can find all the items on ebay pretty cheap or depending on you country probably also in home depot, homebase, B&Q or whatever ;)

ps, I also hear that the cfl bulbs are more efficient when horizontal. Hope that helps...

Sweet man nice setup! I don't have any money too spend so I'm just using what I got but I managed too make a horizontal set up I like using 1 85 watt 2700k one 45 want 2700 k and one 45 watt 5500k, I did have two of these but it was getting on for 90 degrees so decided too remove one!

One plant slightly underwater again but that's my fault for not getting home on time!

Also seeing as I have space for maybe one more bulb I was thinking of adding a small led? Anyone got any recommendations or advice if this would be a good idea or not?

Hey hanky!
You could add one or too LEDs, or you could add a couple of spot leds, you can have them farther away from the position your CFLs are and still give you a nice light!
That's my panel and in my pc I can tell ya, they're doing a great job!

So guys the good news is the plants are booming and look great... Bad news is my fans broken :( anyone got any ideas? It's so hot in there without it I'll have too leave it dark until new fan can be sorted!

I added a pc fan but these are pretty shit really.

The fan comes on and just spins really slow, it's been on for weeks so I'll let the motor cool down and try it again.

Hey Hanky.
I can't really give you any advice for your fan, just say I'm sorry, and ask how you connected your pc fans.
Are their power supplies 12v and if yes, how many A's?

I can also see your Ona, bet these ladies smell now!! Apple crumble!!

Cheers mate!!

Hey man thanks, they're hooked up too old phone chargers, I have no idea about electronics, do u think that's why there crap? Not enough power? What's the best thing too use!

And yeah they stunk until I got the ona pro block, that shit is fucking amazing I swear too God. Read bad reviews but totally disagree, spot on in my garage, may be too strong in a house.

Hey mate!

Look at your phone chargers, they usually say the voltage, Ampers and all dat sh*t!
The best specifications are: 12v, and 1A or a lil bit above that!

Get a router cable or sthn!

About Ona: I can't say that it saved my ass 100%, cos my ladies are in my room, but it kinda fades away the smell at this stage!!

Cheers lad!!

Legend mate cheers in try and find something at work too use today!

Took the 85watter out cause it's too hot sitting at 67 degrees until new fan comes Tomoro, looks like it'll be OK :) woop!

And yeah the ona block is perfect for my garage as it just has too stop the smell getting outside, but at the moment it's completely getting rid of the ganja smell!
