Thanks for the comments guys! I think it is very important for growers like myself to show the next generation of growers the techniques that we have learned over the years. My techniques are always evolving and constantly being fine tuned.

You guys will really like my future links that will continue to be made. I have the perfect testing room for up to 7600 watts and every crop in that room is dedicated to side by side testing for years to come. That's 5 crops per year for testing. I will be showing side by side comparisons between different nutrient companies to show the results as well as many other tests. It's going to be a fun few years!
 
This is awesome. I am waiting on a few more pieces and i can get my system together. I am pretty stoked, thanks again, Snype!

in the guide to eco moms what is this fixture called that the cfls are on
https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=47880&pictureid=1117688
i know that the ones with 2 coming out of them are y splitters but this one has 3. are you able to move and adjust the splitters with 3 coming out of it because the y splitters are not adjustable. is it better to use 5000k or 6500k cfls for these because i have been reading a lot of people use 6500k and the packs ive found with those 4 lights in them are 23w 5000k. is there any real difference?

I dont know the names but the parts are common at Home Depot. The picture that you posted has 4 lights in it and is decieving. Personally I use 5000k for Veg and yes there is a difference between the colors.
