Okay, thanks so much for that input HR, I really appreciate that! Also, when you say REAL watts, on a CFL, you mean like the 55 watts I have in each of my bulbs, meaning I have a total of 220 watts, not " the equivalent of 800 watts", correct?
Cool, that only leaves the problem of getting more bulbs in there now! lol! Any ideas on how to do that? lol, oh well, this is what I love about growing, it's a beautiful day everyday you wake up to them, they teach you something new everyday, and the whole affair makes you smarter and more creative, having to figure these things out, but it's SO cool to have the help I get here! I would have to go out and GUESS which book to buy, or make the mistake of talking to the wrong person, or getting really BAD advice from a tool who don't know crap... No, that would suck.....
Thanks again for everything, HR, and all the rest of you guys who are stopping' by to drop a line....
One thing on that subject! Why is it that I only see some responses only in an email reply to me, but not up here in the thread? I have missed so many responses because I don't go into my email that often, only once a week or so, but I get on here multiple times daily looking for responses and reading journals, etc...but I don't ever see those responses here. Does anyone know why that is happening to me? I feel bad, because I like to respond with at least a "thanks!" to those who take the time to stop by to offer their advice and help, that's really important to me! Do I have some setting off that I don't know about? I just don't get that one...
Anyhow, thanks! to all who stopped by to give some advice, I really DO appreciate it! And I am so sorry I never before realized I was missing some responses that way!
Much love and green happiness to all!
To get more bulbs in, use Y-Connectors that are available at any hardware or home store. They allow you to put two bulbs in a single socket. Plus, you can attach one Y-Connector to a single socket, then put two Y-Connectors in the first Y and get four bulbs in a single socket.
