New Grow Room!!!

I need a little help with my grow room setup with the lighting
I decided to just go CFL. so what i was going to do is go to home depot buy 3 120watt red spectrum and 3 100watt blue spectrum bulbs.

I was then going to get the little y splitter things that plug directly into a socket, and hook the lights into that onto a Power Surge Protector.
Most likely i was goign to get 2 surge protectors, 3 on each protector.
1- red, blue, red
2 - blue, red , blue

and i wanted them to hang over my plants. only going to be growing 2-3 plants.
I wanted to have all 6 lights on 18-6 until flowering.

So my question comes down to, HOW can i get the power surges to both hang over my plants and be able to raise and lower them because my grow room is about 9feet tall.
And also, what would be the best way to power these to surge protectors? just run the plug into a wall socket?

Any suggestions Please Help - I will + Rep, i need to know by morning, this is when i am making my purchases. Thanks Very Much in Advance
 
well how large is the spot? like we know its 9ft tall but whats the other dementions.
if it was me and didnt want to hang stuff off the roof i would get pvc pipe and make a base and top to hang it off of. as for the surge i would get the bath room vanty light set up and leave the surge on the ground the vantys are easy to set up with an extenction cord then that plug in to the surge.
 
You can see how i have the cords hung over the bar so that you can rap them up or let them down depending on the height you want. The other two picks are just bud porn

those black thigns are the things the light plug directly into right?
hmm maybe ill do tht, idk i wanted 6 lights though.
idk what my best bet to do is with 600 CFL's. .
i just figured the power surge would be more organized thats all..
 
the vanty way imo is way easy it one less thing you have to buy. i have seen the surge way but it puts the lights really close to each other and personaly i like to space them out a little to get air flow around them. with the surge youll have to get the two prong to light socket Y spliters. so thats my opinion
 
how much does the vanity thing go for? expensive?
i might be buying a grow cabinet so i can have a bigger space. not sure yet.
but yea. maybe ill go vanity.. or just hang on extension cords.. that way i can get the lights at different heights so i can get on top of plant and along side of plants
 
the vanitys are like 10-20$usd but for my grow i went with a reading lamp the has 3 light sockets i just tore it apart and got what i wanted lol. look at goodwills and thrift stores too they have lots of fun things for weed lol
 
I got my three socket vanity from HD for $5. Check out sig for progression of my grow cab. I started with CFL's then decided to go to a 150W HPS that was $85 bucks delivered. Wish I'd have just started that way. JMO :weed:
 
yea maybe ill just change my investment, everyone is saying hps..
i guess maybe ill keep em outside until i get my 400w HPS and get like a grow cabinent to put them in and that way i can customize it and put fan holes where i want them.
