It had to be one or the other since my light reflector system only uses 1 bulb at a time n I'm not sure what I can use to put the 2nd lamp on the side please help?Are they actual watts or equivalent? And why does it have to be one or the other? I would use both. For an auto-flower, that should be sufficient for a decent harvest, but I would add some smaller cfls on the side for better light penetration.
There are these litter converter things you can plug into an outlet to make it hold a light bulb. You can rig up a little light fixture using some of these converters and a power strip. Keep in mind when you are thinking about how to position your cfls that they throw the most lumens off the side (not coming out of the top) and you will need some kind of reflectors to maximize how much bud you get for light invested.It had to be one or the other since my light reflector system only uses 1 bulb at a time n I'm not sure what I can use to put the 2nd lamp on the side please help?
Thanks man, I also got that suggestion from somebody last night, but I have moved the fixtures up almost into the plant since the pic, was just waiting for the vertical stretch to quit, but I was thinking the upper side of the bulbs would cascade up into the lower sides of the stems, just been lazy to make more half cans.There are these litter converter things you can plug into an outlet to make it hold a light bulb.

Nice pic man. Is there anyway you could reposition those 8 lower bulbs so that they have the sides facing towards the plant | <==like that with a reflector behind it (made from a soda can)? You may be able to use your watts more efficiently
