Need serious help hanging lights. Day 3 of Flowering and i ran out of space!

I use a dog tie chain from the pet store, put 2 eye screws in the ceiling hooked each end of the chain to them and cut it in half to make 2 equal chains out of it, put 2 s hooks on the end of each and hung my light.... I actually screwed a 2x4 to the cieling to span from one joist to the other and put the eye screws into that... raise it up by just hooking it higher and letting the extra chain pool up on top of my reflector


you could just put the chain around the ole you have and clasp it to itself

God. Are you fuckin trolling us? How about you start by gaining an extra foot by simply attaching the light directly to the pole instead of hanging it from the bottom of a bunch of bent up clothes hangers? You hardly even have to do anything at all... just fucking attach it to the pole and you've already gained a foot.. come on man...

Edit: Really, I don't mean to be a dick. I just can't say much more than "what the fuck?" when I look at the fourth picture you posted, though.

lol by the way the hook from the lights is tiny compared to the pole from the closet that's why I had it on hangers im not that retarded.

Don't listen to any negative shit. When I was growing in my bathtub I'd hang my CFL's on rope tied to two shower curtain rods and I grew some kick ass bud. Now I grow in a tent with a dual 400 watt MH HPS. Keep growing

quick fixeddrilled a hole in the pole lol. Should I cut these leaves off? they got burnt.

An even better way, and you may just do this if you need more vertical space, would have been to simply loop the hook around the wooden pole, and hook it onto the cord, and viola! It's holding itself up.

lol , you didn't run out of room . Take out that pole and rip out that shelf . you have plenty of room . Besides , if that is all the light you have ...... your plants are already too tall . chop tops down and make a couple of clones .
