Hi Gang, Thought I would try something different..Haven't saw it before..couple day old Purple Widows, and thought this idea might intensify or direct to flow of light..Just did it, so have to wait a bit to see if it works..(pics should be self-explanatory) Only using 1, 6500k 26w , (can use many more, or just my 400Hps,..but like I say,..just experimenting around..CFL's are in a track light deal. Going to do these 12/12 from seed..(or after about 2 weeks from seed). This is an outdoor strain, and have very hard luck perfecting it,..but it is purple bud for sure..with burnt sienna hairs when shes done..Very finicky though. I also punched holes with a hole puncher around the hose so air (with co2) can breeze through. (small fan directed at them)..kinda neat i guess..What you guys think? Be neater if it works..By Working, I mean Doesn't leak any light much so how much more does that one bulb help?

that looks like a fire hazard....plants that small don't need direct intense light, not till they get larger and start growing more....
those flexi-ducts are not supposed to be used for hot air, especially not being within 1 inch of the base of a cfl, in a contained space they can and will catch fire if in contact with some materials,
just my opinion.
