More random thoughts:

  • This is day 5 since inducing 12/12, the plants should be showing signs of sex in the next few days. I do believe I see hints of white on KC, but I can't really stick my head in there close enough to see if those are pistils or not.
  • I have plenty of flat white paint leftover from another project of a few years ago, but I fear that sticking the babies in there as the paint dries would harm them, so that's out.
  • The flat white cardboard makeshift reflectors may or may not be helping, it's hard for me to tell as I have nothing to compare it to. I have found a good supply of emergency blankets for a buck each, same place I found the popcorn bins. 70% reflectivity is better than nothing at all, and if I read my research right, hot spots shouldn't be much of an issue under 150 watts of HPS - if I'm mistaken somebody tell me!


Perhaps I should research flat white cardboard reflectivity? According to the Ask Ed column on Cannabis Culture, some Hydroponic growers use it...but how reflective is it as opposed to flat white paint, mylar, emergency blankets and aluminum foil?
