    I love to work with my hands and today in class i was thinking of making a new stand and canopy. So i ended up drawing the plans and just got back from home depot. Still gotta wait to make the fixture to hold my new lights til they come in. I will throw up some pics in a lil after i get the frame together.

    I have a 40 watt t5ho coming in with two leds white and blue. Any suggestions on how to mount them. Still a toss up. Do the white and blues have to be close together?

    I would. Just because it will even out the lighting with respect to those below. But that's just me. I am horribly ODC about some things and uniformity and symmetry are a must for my psyche.:-X

    Great view!!! The stand is looking good. Dont rush things and try to plan it out correctly. Think about what you may want to add in the near future and make any adjustments now. Just a thought. Luna
