Hi Greg, I use 27w 5000k Ecosmart CFL lamps. Pretty sure I bought them from Home Depot: EcoSmart 27-Watt (100W) Shatter-Resistant CFL Light Bulb Model # ES5M827FSSS Internet # 202184509 I found that the reflector hoods got warm, but never hot. Certainly not hot enough to melt anything. I’ve debated going to a different lamp, [...]

Tony,
This looks great! I like how the bottles are still easily removable with the hose clamps. I’ve been thinking about starting another setup using 2l bottles too – They are certainly MUCH easier to find in recycling…I’m excited to see how your system works out! -

Thanks for all the feedback! I’m using the standard ‘windowfarm’ plastic tubing. I heated it gently and bent it around a bottle creating a little acrylic candy cane.

In an attempt to bring a little bit of sanity to my concrete world, I’ve built a small Windowfarm in my Manhattan apartment. For the last 11 years I’ve been working summers in Santa Fe, NM, where I’ve discovered the wonders of Green Chile. Why not try to grow Green Chiles in NYC?! After pouring over [...] -
