Cheap Ideas for a grow setup

Hey guys I just wanted to share a few of the things i've been able to pick up at my local goodwills. Maybe this will save someone some money. My setup is kinda ghetto buts its working well for me. I have a total of 18 cfl lights, all but the 4 reflectors were purchased for between 75 cent and 4 dollars from goodwill. What I would do is buy any lamp that was cheap and then disassemble it to just the cord and bulb socket. Id then hang the lights however I needed. I left a few assembled so that they could sit on the ground. Here is a list of a few other things I picked up besides the lights.
Frigidaire dehumidifier $9
Vicks humidifier $3
Oscillating fan x2 $3
Stationary fan $2
Mylar type material (used for car windshields) $1
Hamilton Beach Trueair air purifier (uses a carbon panel filter works okay for my 2 plants) $3

Here is some pics of my loot.


If anyone is interested you can see pics of my first and current grow at https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-lighting/768163-my-first-grow-28-800-a.html. The pics are about a week old so they are looking better now. Ill post updated pictures later.

buddy

i started out with something like u have ..............have u noticed the issuse with the increase lights the heat factor mutliplies .........take it from me sooner or later the power of the light compared to the power of the fans/ac u need to keep tha area cool in the flowering stage (heat stress)

i am only writing this to help u out
1 order some auto flowering seeds ...........72 75 days from putting in the ground to smoke/recoop costs
2 those home depot bucks are crap i only use it to empty water ...........look into fabric bags/smart soil bags/soil air bags/fabric planters (u are on a low price kick use fat man jeans denium works fine and guessing u can sew i learned in school in 7th grade )
3 invest in LED u will get a greater depth then the CFLs (i mean the ufos and hanging lights not the bulbs) ......this will decrease the heat made by the lights get u a greater depth higher lumen (i was taught a 600w LED is equal to power to a 1000w HID)............i said that since u do not need ducting and fans like u do with hid so the cost is about 20% cheaper after u factor in the hose clamps/ducting/fan/hood/ballast/timer/hangers/bulbs
