I would like to be able to adjust the height of this grow bulb as my plant gets larger.

I am moving it to a covered porch.

Can someone give me some ideas?

Buy an old camera tripod and rig it up -
.. maybe 5 - 10 bucks at the thrift store.

Chain and S hooks. Can be any kind of chain. That "swag" chain will
work.

So, would I need to trim the 2x4 attached to the light socket, mount an eye bolt
in the center of the wood, and then hang with the chain?

Better would be to buy a round PVC box, put the keyless fixture you
have on the box and attach the chain to the box. Then you are a little
closer to being safe/legal. Better yet would be a molded pendant light
socket and just adjust the length of the cord.

Put the bulb in a long armed desk lamp.

Mount the porcelain base on a 4x4 box. There will be a knockout in the
back you can hook into.

Yikes! That's ............ well you shouldn't have that where someone will see.

But for plants, either you move the light or you move the plant. I've done it both ways.

Stack of concrete blocks on each end, board across the top, plants on the floor, chain from an eye bolt in the board, lamp on an S hook. As the plant grows move the S hook to higher links. Eventually you insert more concrete blocks if it really grows. I had quite a garden in a dark apartment in Wisconsin this way. I hung 4 foot fluorescent tubes from the board because i got the fixture free where somebody had thrown it out.

Or, put your plant on a stack of blocks, remove them as it grows.

It worked for me when I used a fluorescent shop light as a grow light.
Would work if you set it up like that in the beginning. Now you have to
lower the plant as it grows. I have an old lab jack that would be good
for about a foot of growth.
