Hi , I just got some questions ,

Is there a site I can order a fixtrure along with flourecent lights?

Like a fixture so I can adjust it as the plants get higher?

Ive looked all over on google and found this http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/accessory/lights.shtml

Anything on there that would work good?

I see there are two kinds of fixtures, one thats like a frame that sets on the floor and another where you just chain the lights to the ceiling and adjust it when the plants grow?

I apologize for all the newb questions, I just want to get as much information as possible for this^

I really apreciate any help you can give

Try www.htgsupply.com they have alot of different lights,I myself would get the 400w HPS and MH grow light. They give off alot more light. If you're just looking for flouros they have them also, look at the T-5/44

The first one will be good,I wouldn't get the second one if it were me. How many plants are you doing and what size is your grow area? And also what strain?

I just want to start off with just 5 plants(give or take) for now.

Space: I could grow them either in my closet or room, not sure yet. I guess it would be hard to grow them in my walk in closet because there are no electrical outlets in there.
My closet is 4'10 in width and 5'6 in length. Room is 12'5 by 10'5. Hmm im thinking maybe I should just take some pics..


Ill take some pics of my closet and room,

I can ofcourse move my crap around to make the room i will need

you know that the plants have to be in a location that will have the least light leak.
either of those flouros will work and for starting off its good, and if you really get in to growing you can upgrade later.

you best bet would be to empty your closet and use that. you can just run an extension cord.

yes I would also pick the closet and the flouros will be good to start them with but with 5 plants you're going to need more light. they have a 400w hps&mh grow system for about $40.00 more than the flouros so think about it, it will save you in the long run.
