hey there . I am a first time grower and like most I have been a worry wort about everything and I just wanted to tell you thanks for putting some of my fears to rest mainly concerning your source of light being just the one bulb and still having the amazing results you have had. I too am using floros ( 5 CFLs three 2700 lums and two 2900s. one 2` tube . and one 1` the two footer is red and the one footer is blue) and was originally worried about the strenght but as I said you put those fears to rest and gave me some confedience as well. congrats on your grow and further good luck man!!
oh and do you know what the reflectivity percent is of the roofing paint? just wondering what the comparison is to mylar. thnx again
wow this thread is looking beautiful. okay people, I got about 6 different plants in the works and I'm retarded and have absolutly no idea how to tell a male from a female, could someone upload some pics of how to compare them please.
Mylar offers 98% reflectivity and flat white paint around 86%. I have no idea about aluminium foil or roofing paint.
Nice plants man keep it up. I heard that aluminum foil can cause light to focus unevenly on the plants and cause burns is that true?
yea foil and some other type of reflective material (forgot what its called) will cause hotspots
just go with mylar, its the easiest to deal with
