Sorry to thread jack but need to share my research and experience. Shop lights are great for really lighting up dark places but crap for growing. That looks like either the 200 or 400 which is a lot of energy and really hot. Cfl's are way better for supplemental lighting and keeping plants in veg. A little 100 or 125 will run cool and only use 25 watts. Use the "daylight" cfl. I can light up a whole car port with just 6 cfl's.

I've thought about getting chickens but my neighbor had 7 chickens and a couple got caught by hawks. :'( I don't think she was diligent about putting them in their coop at night. Still a maybe.
Coyote's tore open my homeboys coop and tore all his chickens to shreds.

This one goes out to 'the crew', out there filling 200gl smart pots in the heat...............
My inlaws liked to tell the story about Ernie Ford visiting the ranch on Ryer Island where they lived. Ford had come to hunt pheasants. He apparently had a great time, and stayed to talk and tell stories late into the evening.
