This is my first closet grow. As of now i am using a fluorescent "grow light" i purchased at walmart which is plugged into a wall socket and is hanging from the bar which you would hang clothes on with string. I would love to switch to CFLs but dont know how to set it up in my space cheaply, easilly and efficiently.

PLEASE HELP

Pics of your setup would help.

This is what I have setup in my cab. Just a power strip with y-adapters and screw on plug in thingys for the cfls.

i know, i will get pics up sometime today or tomorrow

the problem is, my plants are on the floor and there is no light socket or plugs inside the closet, so i am not sure how to mount my lights

the light i have from walmart is a fluorescent tube light enclosed in a plastic casing and included a plug coming from one end of it, i have it tied to the bar in my closet with string so it hangs

Just use a power strip and hang it off the bar.

I used a Bathroom vanity light thing. You can find them at lowes, walmart whatever for around 10-20 bucks. Buy some wire nuts and a plug to wire it.

Pretty simple white to white black to black then the ground.

Just plug it in to an extension cord. Your not going to pull a whole bunch of power to compromise the cord just dont use a cheap thin one.

Then buy some "y's" and you are all good.
