"Just curious if you did anything with the rough idea from the home made light fixtures?"
not yet, but now that you mention it i may take another look and start working on something, as i have freed up all of my small CFL fixtures for flowering until i can afford another light. i was also at lowes yesterday wandering around and kinda thinking about lighting. the have a soft white (2700k) 65w CFL for 16$ that caught my eye... was wondering if they would work nearly as well as my 100w 6500k's do.
i will take a look at that idea again now and will keep you updated
thanks
