Those ones from Lowes? They have a little hanger thing too?
I've got 4 for veg myself. Using 2 with Y sockets in them, plus 2 bulbs hanging down without. a reflector. so, 6 23W 6500K

I think it was the weight of the 55 watters that pushed it over. I switched for the second one I had and used the same bulbs the rest of that grow and it was still fine at the end. Now, I'm using those clamp reflectors for supplemental veg lighting because I want my Auto to have 2700K lighting from the top down (55 watt) and the middle downward(42 watt) so I cover as much area as possible. My veg area has a 125 watt 6500K CFL as it's main lighting.

I got mine from Amazon.com. The brand was photo Basics.

And yes, those are the reflectors I have!

missy. subbed.
Thank you Murfy and welcome to my Journal. Now that the weather is taking me away and outside more, I don't know how often I will post updates so hang on I will eventually get around to posting them.

This is my Fox Farm Grow, soil mixture and fertilizers. Watered my ladies this morning, I did the grow room plant rotation so that all the plants can get the benefit of light (directly underneath the lamps and from the sides. I can't believe how fast they are growing the shortest plant from rim of the pot to the tip is 25 inches and the tallest is 32 inches (White Widow). I prefer my plants larger, not that I think I will have greater yields, but because I think they are more resistent to any harm that I might accidentally cause them. I'm not looking to grow trees either, but now that I have the head room, let there be trees! The White Widow is the only plant from seed, the other 8 are clones from my pregrow, 4 each of AK48 and Shiva Shanti.

I thought that the AK48 would be my smoke of choice, but once I tried the Shiva Shanti I changed my mind. The AK48 makes me sleepy, while the Shiva Shanti makes me want to get up and do something. I am so glad that I cloned them both. I hope that I am successful taking cuttings from my third grow, which is 7 different strains. Yeah, I know, too many different strains in one grow.

Since I was making a Journal update I quickly went and took some pictures. People like pictures, so do I. The MJ plant has so much beauty to be called a weed. I don't look at my ladies as being weeds.

The above pictures were taken a few hours after I watered them this morning, which is why they look so radiant to me. I also added fish emulsion for the first time today, I read that the fish ferts gives the buds a nice smoking taste, I shall see. Others say that the fish ferts give off a bad smell, so far no irregular smells.:mrgreen:

You wait til your flowering lights are off, then take your pics? They don't have that red hugh that most flowering pics have. Plants look great btw, i'm quite jealous. ;-)
Keep up the great work!

My ladies and I thank you for the compliment. I take pictures with the lights on (most always), unless the plants are in the vegging room. I'm not too keen on taking pictures in the dark, I might stumble around and fall, LOL. I have a difficult enough time focusing with the lights on.

Being a new grower I have been updating my equipment and supplies as I grow, and when extra money is available. I now have (3) 400 watt fixtures in my flowering room, using the CMH bulbs.

Yeah, you could have just read through my thread, but since this is a Discussion Journal I don't mind answering questions and listening to suggestions. Besides, I like your company;-)
