care instructions Reflector bulb E14 Max 25W Ok Im gonna build a stalth grow box for 1 or 2 plants and am going with CFLs. Box like above only 2x2x2 or 3x3x3 in size Basically I want a string of CFL lights sort of like Christmas fairy lights in a strip that I can just tie up and down and plce where they are needed. Im having dificulty finding lights that can be just plugged in so am thinking about getting say 5 or 6 of the lamps show above and replacing the bulbs with 25w CFLS to get around 125/150 W going on in my box Basically do other people think this would work and be safe/ If anyone has any links to hardware/DIY sites that sell similar products (in a dream world I would like a string of wires that run off 1 wall plug that has about 5 or 6 lamp heads to mount the bulbs in (like they have on building sites) Again any help is much appreciated Thankyou and sorry to ask again
yeah thats right qz, it would cook in there quick without ventilation .... a couple fans, intake down low ... and exhaust up high. pc fans will work i think, and are quiet ... specially when 12v units are run at 9v. i've read a thread somewhere similar to this .... they bought some special white paint that sticks to plastic for excellent reflectivity ... wired in series 5 cfls (think about where the wire enters, so a hole can be drilled prior to terminating the connections), i think they cut a thin 1/4" piece of plywood the size of the top and fastened it inside .. with small bolts, nuts and washers. get a timer .... and a low strain enjoy the grow G
Bump. Yeah I was gonna put them computer fan things in the sides for a bit of venting. Im still not sure about the lighting though. Would a 75/100watts HPS light be ok (ie not too hot/too weak to grow) Would a security light work? Im a it of an idiot when it comes to lighting so I think i might just go to my local hardware/DIY store and just say "I want a 75/100watts HPS light, you sell em?" or I need to rig up 5 x 40watt Fluros, how should I do it" You think they will help me out?
Bump I just saw this in another section of the forum and was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of how this would be wired because it is exactly how I want my set up to be like http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38414&d=1146924414 what wires would i need? How would it be wired so that it can be plugged into the wall. I want to get about 4-6 CFL bulbs in total Any help is appreciated. Thankyou
