That is DrGreenThumb that has the OD'ed t8 fixtures, he has a thread on doing the mod I think. I was just laughing cause he didn't hesitate to rep for his setup.

Thanks hungry. Those are Lights of America Model 8045E 4ft. shoplights. They are $10 a piece at Walmart. To make one OD light you need two fixtures. It's basically combining 2 ballasts into one reflector. Instead of 1 ballast powering both lights you use 2 ballasts and each one powers a single bulb.

I'll send you a PM detailing the process. If you have any ?'s let me know.

PM me those also I am not doing it right now but in my next veg room I will be using 4ft flouros for the clone table, I am hoping to be able to clone 50 or so at a time with that setup, I wouldn't let em get as big as yours on that table though, 50 plants that size would need it's own house lol

Sure, no problem. Making one for the first time can be a little difficult (trying to squeeze the wires in just the right places is rough). But once you make one the process is simple.

The first one took me about 2 hours to build. I was trying to figure it out using only text and diagrams plus taking pictures for this Tek. The second one took like 30 minutes.

They have been running 24/7 since I built them without any problems.

First of all I never labeled your entire grow "Scrawny". Stem size genetics blah blah blah. That is not the only thing I am looking at. Again I said they look well cared for. I have been doing what I do for a long time and when I get out of the section of the country I am in. I will flood this site with pictures. With pleasure. I don't have to prove anything to anybody. Like I said in one my first threads. I am only here to talk about weed and share my experiences, which for now, I can only give you my word. Are bountiful. I AM ONLY TRYING TO HELP! Didn't mean to offend. I come in Peace.
