lighting question please help

Hey all its been a while since i grew but im getting back into it. On the last grow i used a high output t5 fluorescent lamp with 4 bulbs. But i want a little better yield this time. I will be using the same lamp but was thinking about using a few cfls with it. would that be good you think? also how do the cfls work, do i just get the bulbs or do i need to buy a special lamp? I am trying to save some cash too. Thanks

anybody?also where do u like to order your seeds from

you can get the sockets for the cfls and just run the power to that instead of buying lamps. and for seeds i would suggest attitude, nirvana, and high grade seeds

Since you already have a main light source you wont need to large cfls, ide recomend either 6-8 13w or 4-6 26w. Setting them up is the easy part, and no you dont need a special lamp. What youll want to do is go to your local home depot and wander on over to the lighting section. You should find a wall of light socket adapters in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Depending on how you want to set them up youll need two different adapters:
The first is called a plug in socket adapter, and looks like a light socket with two metal prongs coming off the bottom for a electircal outlet.

The second is a Y socket adapter, which looks like two light sockets in the shape of a Y coming off (what looks like) the metal screw bottoms of a light bulb.

Finally you can get an extension cord, any size you want.

Now you screw the Y adapter into the plug-in adapter, and plug the plug-in adapter into your extension cord which is plugged into your wall and tada. When you are done it should look something like this:

depending on how many lights you decide to set up, this will run you maybe $20 max. Its cheap, efficient and dawgonit there just soooo pretty.

good luck man
