Grow Lights from Bamboo Poles and Small Fluorescent Lights

Step 2 Putting It Together

Basically, we lashed the pieces of bamboo together starting with two sets of X's bound by the twine almost in a V shape with enough overlap to allow the final stick to rest at the top.

Using the twine means that this 'rig' can be taken down and repositioned. Additionally, It's pretty flexible and you could actually slant the top stick to allow for various size plants.

My Generous use of twine and electrical tape is visible in the attached photos.

I power strip allows for a manual way to shutdown the power and to give a little bit of fault protection.

The wall timer .. well.. not there , yet. The one pictured is two prong and a single socket. Got a bit nervous with plugging too much into it.

So, basically , this thing works nights. Turn it off on the way to work and turn it on when I come home from work.
