hey there gents, i'm giving serious thought on starting my grow cos i wanna get max yeild an potency! just need your guys opinion on something i thought might work. do you reckon placing mirrors angled underneath the plant will help reflect some light onto those poor bottom leaves? i never heard of anyone doing this but it makes sense in my head.:confused:
MAny people say that mirrors can burn your plants..
SOme people say that mirrors actually absorb light...
a whit surface will be fine...
: )
light proximity
Ventilation
PH
learn about these
: )
good luck
Go buy some MYLAR... its the best reflective material for growing. Mirrors are no good.
Garden,
Do you remember about 1 or 2 months ago... there was a thread... I think it was called "Super Reflection Chamber" or something.... this guy, he had the same idea...
He tested his theory with a mini-model... and a ligher in the middle... hmmm.....
funKin (<-- I tried to write your name, but it's really complicated dude!),
I can see your idea.... but, the benefits, in my opinion, are not worth the hassle.
Is this your 1st grow?
If it is, I suggest you, just go at it. If you want to do the mirror thing, go for it. That's the best way... just, try it! ;)
dude, why not just take a step up and put some lights on the sides of the plants???
seriously, dude, it could make it so the bottom buds are as big as the top ones

like OP said, adding lights is always GOOD too
It's a known fact that mirrors are highly inferior to mylar in reflecting light energy. Even flat white paint is better. Mirrors are made of glass, which ABSORBS the light energy, and will increase the temps in your grow room. Use mylar.Quote:

What i do is use tin foil that does the job for me hope it helps

Never use mirrors or the shiney side of tin foil, it absorbed light
