Thanks GK...I guess I was goin by your book 8ohs for less than 100..it mentions 6 cfl's under 3 plants...should I add 2 more cfl's? Anyway, ordered the dvd this weekend and can't wait for it to arrive so I can begin ordering everything recommended..will it be specific as far as fans, exhaust, etc??? Is it safe to have to delivered to my residence? I have my seeds mailed elsewhere but was a lil' worried about the book and dvd coming to my mailbox...I guess I hope that no one is monitoring where the books are being sent and whose ordering them?? Thanks for any help you can offer....:)
hi dear,

page 5, day 5 - "There are 8 CFLs in this small area"

Once I read your note...I went to my book and see the extra lights were added because the temp in the room was dipping below 70F...rather than utilize a heater. If the lights did add too much heat and killed seedlings...then what kind of heater would you of brought in? One with a fan? Electric, kerosene, etc???
Since each light fixture can accomodate 2 bulbs per fixture..where would the additional 2 bulbs be placed? And I realize why the reflective hoods were not used while filming for the book...but if they were used..they wouldn't be in the way of each other in such a tight space and 6-8 cfl's being used?
I thank you for all your help again and look sooo very forward to your knowledge and appreciate your willingness to share....

no reflectors were used because,,,, ummmm.... shoot... i don't know why?
yes, reflectors may have got in the way of adjusting the bulbs to their CLOSEST position to the foliage....

i love the idea or paradigm of putting the plants AROUND the lights.... so that the entire surface area of the CFL is being fully utilized...

The SPLITTER had an additional SPILTTER put into one of its sockets... allowing each SOCKET fixture to have 3 bulbs...


IT is really difficult t have to much heat when using CFLs... a small computer fan can remove the heat produced from cfls and carry it away in some sort of miniature "ducting"....

The closet had 7+ foot ceilings.. any heat produced by the CFLs just went UP...

Hellooooo there GK....I finally recieved my dvd..15 in 80 days and gosh you are Good! Of course, he comes all my dumb questions...please tell me where I can find the aquamist system..I've been lookin all day online and can't find it. How many gallons/pressure/ etc?? During my research I have also found that the HPS lights are expensive as heck...I nd to purchase some good USED ones for sale or need to find an outlet/warehouse place to be able to afford them..please help with whatever info you can share.
The last thing is that I am starting from scratch so I have no clones...can the same thing be done in the video but starting with just seeds and no clones? Thanks soooo much and I enjoyed it very much and seems to be well worth my time and investment.

Page viii "...:reflectors are not shown in these photographs to better show the postion of the lighting assembly."
I always figured it would be quite a task to take them off for a picture and then put them back on. I was sure that onse you took them off they would stay off. But you did give a reason for it. VV:mrgreen:

there are a few sites online that sell the CFL's. If you would like to walk-in ang get them, I've found some at my local super walmart. You can ask the lighting department @ Home Depot to order them also if they do not have them in stock.
