Just wired a 6 cfls and hung them from the top pointing down. My grow space is limited so should i leave them like that or mount them on theyre side to save an inch or two?
I would put them on their sides. But it honestly doesn't matter except for the extra space. You may get a little more light with them on their sides too because light is longer than it is wide. The extra surface area will give you a little more, at least i would think it does.
Sounds good. Just cleaned up all my connections and shortend up the slack. Almost ready to germ my seeds and get this shit goin
If they are up close to the mylar it should be OK. But if not you may want to. Tin foil works better than nothing, just make sure to use the dull side to avoid hot spots.
