So I decided to make a DIY reflector and add 8 23w CFL's instead of my 2 65w CFL's. I also cleaned up the grow room. Made a cheap ass shelf with some wood I had laying around my shed. Thoughts, questions or comments welcome.
Here are a few DIY things I did myself.
8 CFL Reflector (Going to add a vent on the top to exhaust heat away just because I like to tinker around)
6 CFL Fixture for my big girl flowering (Used this fixture with her from veg until now)
Carbon Filter with 6" In-Line Duct Fan (Keeps the room at 79 degrees and when I put my nose up to the vent on the door i smell nothing)
Intake exhaust with a ODOR/Dirt Filter inside the vent on the bottom of the door. (Used a 200mm PC Fan)

Also everything is attached to my PVC pipe shell. The top is kinda weaved together so it's stand as hell and I can do a pull up on it. I think that's it.

I applaud your DIY strength. I would however make one comment. From the photos it looks like you used extension cord type stuff to string your lights together. I don't know how many lights you have to a string, but it doesn't take too many to heat up those small cords. Easily a fire hazard. Be careful, check the suppleness of the cords often. They will start to harden soon, and crack open. Dangerous. It looks like you have good intuition, and some DIY skills, but you may want to brush up on electrical rules and procedures. Good luck. Peace & be kind.

They are heavy duty extension cords that I used. Not warm at all so I know nothing is overheating. Thanks for the comment though.
